yes.
blood acidity rises due to carbonic acid, calcium is needed to buffer that acidity. if you arent getting much in your diet, your body will seek out calcium elsewhere...ie bones. thats why teenage girls are discouraged from drinking soda excessively. not a good situation for them later in life.

im not taking a calcium sup but i know i should
i wonder if im getting enough from my food but i've cut my dairy down to a minimum (really i have one tub of cottage cheese and a splash of milk in my afternoon coffee thats it)
