I'm no Dr but I found this:

We need about (adults) 1000 m/g of calcium a day.

These foods give:

Less than 100 mg of calcium

1 orange

1 cup of sweet potatoes or green beans

1 cup of cooked lentils, chick peas, navy beans, or pinto beans

3 ounces of shrimp, crab meat, or clams


100 - 199 mg of calcium

1 cup of cottage cheese

1 cup of cooked dandelion greens or kale

3 ounces of canned salmon with bones

1 piece of tofu (2.5" x 2.75" x 1")


200 - 299 mg of calcium

1 cup of cooked broccoli or turnip greens

1 cup of oysters


300+ mg of calcium

8 ounces of yogurt (flavored or plain — plain has much more)

1 cup of cooked collard greens

3 ounces of canned sardines with bones

I think a definitive book needs to be written, as so many Drs say milk is 'natures calcium' and stuff like that, yet so many nutritionists (veggie biased ones) say that milk is the devil incarnate.

Disregarding (for a moment) the ethical and practical horrors of the meat and dairy market, I think the truth about nutrition needs to be known, especially with biggies like milk and orange juice, which some Dr's say are just fat and sugar and worthless compared to other foods.

Headspin, marketeers, advertising age, what do we really know? I know I get milk cravings and vit C cravings, is this my body telling me, or my brain tricking me?
