New research from the University of Alberta has found a link between sodium and calcium that may explain why some people are more prone to developing medical problems such as kidney stones and osteoporosis. According to the study, led by Todd Alexander, sodium and calcium are regulated by the same molecule in the body. When the body?s sodium levels become too high, it is expelled through urine, taking calcium along with it. That can lead to higher levels of calcium passing through the kidneys, which can cause kidney stones. At the same time, an inadequate amount of calcium in the body may lead to thinning bones and osteoporosis. Alexander says the findings are significant because we are eating more and more sodium in our diets, which means our bodies are getting rid of more and more calcium. The results are yet another example of why it is important to limit the amount of sodium in your diet. More here.
