It is not really an acid environment in the urinary tract, but if the body is acid, or you eat too much acid ash food, such as sodas. The only way the body has to neutralize the acid is to strip calcium from the bones, and then that goes out via the kidneys. Too much calcium in the urine can produce stones. If your body is alkaline without having to strip the calcium, then very little will be in the urine. So you are right that calcium is more easily dissolved by acid. More acid means more dissolved calcium. More dissolved calcium means more likelihood of forming stones. Marshall -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
