Low calcium diet increases risk of hyperparathyroidism in women
in Rochester, USA, suggests that women with calcium-deficient diets are more likely to have hyperparathyroidism - the disease which causes the parathyroid glands to release excess hormones, which "steal" the calcium from the bones and deposit it into the bloodstream. Calcium in the arteries can cause problems in the body's electrical system, making people more tired and depressed, as well as increasing the risk of diseases such as osteoporosis and kidney stones, as excess calcium will focus on the kidneys. The researchers were followed by more than 58,000 women who took part in the Harvard Nurses' Health study. P> Every four years, they were questioned about diet and health in general. Over the 22 years of study, 277 women were diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism.

According to scholars, these glands are responsible for keeping blood calcium levels stable. When these levels are in low amounts, hormones "pull" calcium out of the bones.
