Calcium: 1346 mg per day associated with 84% lower risk of extreme body fat in women, maybe men
The higher a woman’s calcium intake, the lower her risk of extreme levels of body fat. Higer intakes of calcium also lower a man’s risk, however, the effect does not appear to be dose-dependent. That is, in men, ever increasing doses do not cause a greater and greater decrease in risk the way they do in women.
