There is a definite relationship between the amount of milk and dairy
products consumed and the levels of calcium in the body.
Statistically, those nations who have the highest consumption of dairy
products also have the greatest numbers of people with osteoporosis.
Those nations with the lowest consumption of dairy products have the
least number of people with osteoporosis.
The correlation seems to hold true through a range of nations. I think
those stats are self explanatory.
A very rich, useable source of calcium is tahini (sesame seed paste).
Dipped with dates - delicious.
Another source is seaweed, so I make sushi occasionally.
The uptake of calcium into your bone matrix is quite a complex function
and requires a few other minerals to be successful. Supplementation with
just calcium, as an orotate or whatever, without the other elements can
lead to further problems. For this reason you should try to take it in as
natural a form as possible. Green leafy vegetables, if grown on well
mineralised soil, fulfill virtually all the requirements for calcium
uptake. Again, seaweed has got all you need. If you want to push the
calcium, wheatgrass juice would be an ideal complement, particularly if
grown with a bit of boron in the soil (add the tiniest bit of borax to the
initial watering).
