Since birth mothers are saying drink milk, it is good for the bones and teeth... but did you ever ask to yourself what if my calcium level will exceed the normal! Just I read the other day too much calcium in our body is not good... the excess one will go to our urine and form calcium oxalate and this will turn then to renal or kidney stones... So, we must be aware of our calcium levels...

Everything that is too much is not good. About the calcium, i have experienced constipation because I had so much intake of it inside 24 hours. I drink milk in the morning and the afternoon, eat cheese, and milky salads. in the evening, i also had this Calcium-enriched drink. Well, look what happened.

charmeleon68, You are correct too much of a good thing can become a bad thing. I think that constipation can be caused from too much of any kind of vitamin as well. By the way, a friendly tip, comment on others responses as well to converse and earn more!

This goes for anything really, we need to make sure that we are not consuming too much good stuff. Good stuff if too much is consumed turns bad. Calcium is no different, the only thing is calcium is almost the most talked about vitamin. Happy Mylotting and Welcome to the site!

Your welcome. I've been here for two years, and for awhile I made a lot of discussions, so I think that's where most of my post count comes from. You'll get this far before you know it!

good info, friend. . I ever heard about it but I don't know much about this issue. I don't drink milk everyday. milk is quiet expensive in my place so I don't know whether my calcium supply is enough or not yet.

I believe in the saying that too much of everything is bad for you and your health too. Yes milk is good for our body but too much of milk as you say is pretty bad too . An excess of everything we take will just be flushed away by our body and sad to say some of these excess leaves bad effect to our selves as well thats why its better to learn the word moderation. Moderate just bout everything you take so that it wont be harmful to your system and you will be able to benefit from all the god stuff that it gives to us. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
