LIFE
No need for extra calcium
Breast-feeding women need their calcium but,
contrary to conventional wisdom, they don't
need
more than other women, a study shows. The
study, in
Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine,
finds
that with or without extra calcium, women
lose bone
mass while nursing. But they also regain the
bone
when they stop.
