with the
calcium found in the
calcium oxalate present in foods.
Then they have another figure on the right that shows that as you increase protein by that same amount, there's a corresponding increase in the amount of
calcium that's absorbed in the
intestine into the bloodstream, and that increase in intestinal

calcium that might happen in the urine, and the overall
calcium balance either doesn't change or it actually even goes up
with higher - protein diets.
High

intestine links
with oxalate and prevents it's
