Cause #8: Hypercalcemia

It is well known that it is important for us to have plenty of calcium in our diets. It is particularly important in helping the skeleton to develop as it is used in building our bones. It also has some other functions in the body. Thankfully, most people have little difficulty getting all the calcium they need.
