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."

Dr. Smith, led by Dr. Christopher E. Golliver, of the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Sciences of the University of Bristol, and Dr. Peter A. Kelleher from the Department of Applied Science and Technology of the University of New South Wales, looked at studies that evaluated dietary calcium content between the ages of 13 to 60 years, in a sample of 1,100 children.

The study found that when the children were younger, their intakes of calcium were inversely related to their body weight, and inversely related to the size of their heads, respectively.

The research, which found that if the children were also consuming more calcium than their body size, the children's blood levels of calcium-rich foods would increase.

"The results of this study suggest that dietary calcium is important for the cardiovascular health of older adults," the researchers write.

"Although the association between calcium intake and health risks is well established, the findings do not mean a causal relationship between a person's
