We have long warned people against the damaging effects of a diet too rich in salt and too acidic as the consequences are numerous, as explained in the article "the modern diet is too acidic".
This time researchers at the University of Alberta at the Canada come to show the existence of a protein which controls the absorption and excretion of sodium and calcium in a simultaneous way. Dr. Alexander, who led the study explains: "when our body gets rid of sodium through the urine, our results suggest that it gets rid of calcium at the same time." This result is very important as we bring more in addition to sodium in our diet (via the added salt, Editor's note) which means that we are more in addition to calcium. Our results support the recommendation to a poor supply of salt."
For researchers this work show that the link between sodium and calcium is real and they explain why a diet high in salt increases the risk of osteoporosis and kidney stones. These results could also explain why calcium supplementation is not sufficient to prevent bone fractures.
