On Twitter this morning, Bredesen tweeted that Blackburn's "remarkable win over Phil Bredesen on FCC chairmanship makes it a long shot for the FCC to give a new leadership position to a Republican."

Blackburn also said she's "open to working with the president and with the Senate to ensure the protections of the open internet are upheld."

The FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, has opposed the net neutrality rules since they took effect in 2015.A recent study from the Institute for Research on Aging, published in the British Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that in older adults, the level of calcium content in the blood was inversely related to their body composition and to how much calcium they consumed. The researchers also found that in older adults, higher intakes of calcium-rich foods, such as meat, were associated with reduced risk of heart disease.

The study was funded by the Wellcome Trust.

It was the first research study to look at dietary calcium and total calcium for age-related changes in body composition and metabolism. The study, led by Dr. Robert L. Smith of The University of Bristol, was published in the journal Science.

"There is a compelling argument that consuming a high-calorie diet is associated with lower risk of heart disease, but this is not the case. Instead, the evidence suggests that this is due to a complex interaction between dietary calcium intake and lifestyle changes, such as the increase in calcium-rich foods."
