• Calcium and phosphorus metabolism are interconnected with effects on parathyroid hormone (PTH), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25 (OH)2D), serum, and urinary concentrations of both calcium and phosphorus including intestinal absorption, urinary excretion, and skeletal actions. Many studies have shown that an increased phosphorus (P) intake may have negative effects on the skeleton, whereas calcium (Ca) intake may have a protective effect on it. As there may be an optimal balance between the nutrients in relation to bone health, interest has been focused on the dietary Ca:P ratio. Both animal and human research data indicate that a low Ca:P ratio has a negative impact on the skeleton, but there is also suggestive evidence that if P intake is high, a high Ca intake does not completely counteract the adverse effect of a high P intake, especially if it derives from food additives.
