View Available Hint(s) consuming vitamin D with a calcium-containing food consuming large amounts of calcium at one time consuming high-phytate foods separately from calcium sources consuming calcium-rich foods, spread between several meals and snacks throughout the day choosing calcium sources high in oxalates, like spinach

Explanation / Answer

1. Kidney disease could be least likely because the disease is not specified which means it may or may not affect the blood calcium levels. Hence less likely for hypocalcemia. While the other options are directly related to blood calcium levels.

2. The consumption of high phytate food seperately from calcium sources could reduce calcium absorption because phytates bind to calcium and slow down their absorption.
