What are two major nutrients supplied by the dairy group?

Calcium is important in building dense, strong bones in children; and in keeping bones healthy and strong in adults. A calcium deficiency may get in the way of proper blood clotting; and may bring on rickets; and osteoporosis, and therefore higher risk of bone breaks, in menopausal women. A calcium excess, ka over-retention, may get in the way of proper kidney functions, and mineral absorption; and may lead to too high levels of calcium in the blood. Vitamin D helps in the proper absorption of calcium, and phosphorus, from food in the intestines, into the blood. It also helps in the proper re-absorption of calcium, into the kidneys. A vitamin D deficiency may lead to liver, kidney or hereditary disorders. As with calcium deficiency, it may lead to such bone-softening diseases as rickets in children. A vitamin D excess, ka toxicity, is rarely the result of diet.

What are the side effects of taking too much calcium?

Our kidneys generally get rid of the excess calcium that we take in. However, too much calcium may lead to the formation of kidney stones. Since the kidneys are getting rid of a lot of calcium, the calcium crystals precipitate in the urine and if we do not take enough water, they form bigger and bigger crystals. Luckily now, kidney stones may be removed non-surgically.
