On the subject of calcium and kidney stones... from
here...
Quote:
There are four reasons routine restriction of calcium has not been promoted:
1. Not all kidney stones are made of calcium and not all sufferers have high calcium levels in their urine;
2. Even when calcium levels are high in urine, restricting calcium in the diet does not always lower it;
3. Studies have shown that low levels of dietary calcium actually increase urinary levels of oxalate and other common components of kidney stones;
4. Low serum calcium levels stimulate loss of calcium from bone which may increase risk for osteoporosis.
