Wow!! I never knew that you could actually have bone loss from consuming dairy products. Or have an increased risk of cancer. This is insane!! This is a health violation!1 Why don’t the dairy companies label this on their products?! This is going to change my whole way of eating!

I love this great article!!! Its helping me in an argument with my uncle about whether an attack on the dairy industry is an attack on calcium which then transformed into- we need to get calcium from milk only. So this has been helpful —except for the parts about fortified foods being good sources. Read Judith DeCava’s “The Real Truth about Vitamins and Antioxidants”. Synthetic so-called nutrients are no health conscious person’s friend…”These words are red flags – if a food needs to be fortified or enriched, you can bet it was already dead.” Thanks for listening

Thanks for the great article Julia! As someone who doesn’t drink milk it’s really helpful to have a list of food that DO provide the calcium my body needs.

I love the part about milk being the perfect food for baby cows. We are the only species that drinks milk beyond infancy and then it’s ANOTHER SPECIES’ milk. It’s kinda gross without even getting into what is IN the milk. I prefer snacking on almonds and soy milk any day! )

Very true about the spinach. I think I’ll take it off the list in fact…

Really nice post and good info!!! Thank you, you delivered the info in a very good way. I just wanted to add one thing. I know it’s in every nutrition book but spinach is NOT a good source of calcium because it contains high levels of oxalats which actually bind calcium and interfere with absorption. Love your blog titel – that’s exactly what I do every day (in that order, I wish it would be the other way round ).
