In the interview today, Dr. Haney covers the following topics:

  • The relationship of vitamin D and calcium and how they work together
  • In terms of osteoporosis, and prevention of osteoporosis, is it possible to separate the importance of vitamin D and calcium, or do they go hand-in-hand?
  • Calcium deficiency - is it possible? If so, what's the impact?
  • Recommended calcium levels for adult men and women
  • Calcium rich food sources, and bioavailability of various foods
  • Various forms of calcium supplements evaluated
  • The relationship between calcium and prostate cancer
