Nice reference. Yes, salt is a factor, and Loren Cordain has written about
it on the PaleoDiet list. The main reason for my posting the reference on
protein and calcium is Ron and I are writting an article titled "Factors
that Inhibit Calcium Absorption" and instead of just sending it to him, and
someone else on the list, I figured I'd just post it for all.

Our article is basically finished. So I quickly tossed a copy at my web
site so you all can read it. It's now at:
