Vitamin D and Calcium supplement reduces mortality page

I think I've been pretty well informed by things like watching/reading Dr. Rosedale on calcium, but this seems to give a different view. Thoughts?

Vitamin D with calcium shown to reduce mortality in elderly

Is this old news I guess?

Pretty much. Most ailments, including osteoporosis, attributable to calcium deficiency are really caused by inappropriate metabolism of calcium. That is, there is enough but it isn't being used properly. This is generally due to Vitamin D deficiency, but there are other factors such as Vitamin K2, Vitamin A, Magnesium, Zinc and Selenium involved.

Supplementing Vitamin D and calcium partly fixes the problem but also worsens it by overloading the body with calcium. Effect is increased mortality.
