Question 22 Question 23 Question 24 Question 25 Question 26 Question 27

People should avoid taking calcium carbonate in doses larger than half a gram. Why? Because, despite its ability to neutralize stomach acids, it can increase the calcium level in the blood and therefore impair kidney function. Just half a gram of calcium carbonate could stimulate the production of gastrin, which causes acid secretion.

Half a gram of calcium carbonate could cause both acid neutralization and acid secretion.

We don’t know whether stopping gastrin production is a more effective way to control excess stomach acid. We only know that gastrin is a cause of acid secretion.

We don’t know the average likelihood of suffering from impaired kidney function.

We don’t know whether smaller does of calcium carbonate are more effective than larger doses for reducing stomach acid.

We know that calcium carbonate has the capacity to neutralize stomach acid, but we also know that half a gram of calcium carbonate has the potential to cause acid secretion through the production of gastrin.

We don’t know whether impaired kidney function increases the level of calcium in the blood. Rather, we know that increased levels of calcium in the blood could cause impaired kidney function.
