Scientists believe too much calcium can narrow blood vessels in the brain, leading to neural damage.

The effect may be compounded by vitamin D, which regulates calcium retention and activity.

Researchers made the discovery after scanning the brains of 79 men and 153 women aged up to 86.

All had at least a number of brain lesions - areas of tissue damage. But those consuming the most calcium and vitamin D had significantly more.

Dr Martha Payne, from Duke University, North Carolina, told the Experimental Biology meeting in Washington DC, that her team's findings supported those voicing concerns about high dairy food intake.

This document is a great read for anyone who wants to gain more info on why high dairy intake can be harmful for you:

I don't know, but I've been told,
If you keep on dancing, you never get old.

I would like to see a study done on the brain lesions in people over 70 years old, comparing the different diets (vegan being the main one).
