Milk or Dairy is Not the only Source of Calcium

 

This list is extremely long, here is a very small list of non dairy sources of calcium, many of them provide a healthier source and even more of it. It’s important to do your research, there are so many foods out there that contain a healthy and abundant source of calcium. So come out of myth how will I get my calcium if I don't consume milk products.

 

Kale: One cup of raw kale is loaded with calcium, approximately 90 mg to be exact. This means that a 3.5 cup of kale salad provides more calcium than a one cup class of milk

Oranges: One Naval Orange contains approximately 60 mg of calcium

- Beans/Soy beans
- Green Peas
- Chickpeas
- Quinoa / Korra millet
- Seeds / Almonds / Dried Figs
- Hemp
- Spinach

 

In continuation of earlier post on facts about milk read below studies as well:

 

In a paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics, Harvard pediatrician David Ludwig emphasizes that bone fracture rates tend to be lower in countries that do not consume milk. compared to those that do, also noting that there are many other sources of calcium.


Another study published in the American Journal of Public Health showed that dairy consumption might actually increase the risk of fractures by 50 percent.


Studies have also shown that calcium isn’t as bone protective as we thought. Multiple studies on calcium supplementation have shown no benefit in reducing bone fracture risk. In fact, vitamin D appears to be more effective when it comes to reducing bone fracture risk.


Studies have also shown that dairy products might increase males risk of developing prostate cancer by 30-50 percent.


It is also interesting to note that approximately 65 to 75 percent of the total human population on our planet have a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. In some countries, over 90 percent of the adult population is lactose intolerant, think about that for a moment.
