How significant is that portion? Have there been any large scale clinical studies recently on calcium and magnesium levels in the population?

Please cite your sources regarding the recommended calcium intake.

way too much calcium (>1400) causes many problems like calcification of the arteries and heart disease, etc

WHO (World Health organization) says 500mg.

False. The WHO recommends 1000mg for most adults. Adolescents, pregnant women, and the elderly should get a little more.
