Researchers from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences studied the effect of Vitamin C and calcium intake on the waistlines of over 900 women between the ages of 40 and 60, and found that low vitamin C intake was associated with a 131% increase in abdominal fat accumulation, whereas a low calcium intake increased the probability of abdominal fat accumulation by 30%.
