= = = = =How does Calcium affect us?= Calcium is an important part of our health because we need it to, along with many other things, grow strong and healthy bones and teeth. An example of an everyday food product in which Calcium occurs is milk and the products made from it. It is the most abundant mineral in the body and in fact, an average-sized person carries about 0.9 to 1.1 kg of calcium. It has also been found that women with a higher Calcium intake loose more weight than women with less Calcium intake. A bad effect Calcium can have on the human body is that if you consume too much of it, your bones may weaken instead of strengthening because of the greatly excessive amounts.
