: NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People with type 2 diabetes who are trying

: When 13 diabetics doubled their fiber intake, the study participants
: began to excrete less calcium in their urine -- a sign that their

This puzzles me. If they are eating the sameamount of calcium as before
and they excrete LESS calcium wouldn't that indicat that the calcium is
staying in the body yand , probably being used? Coul dthis have been a
misprint?
