Calcium in food the real facts?

Okay.

That is not the only form of calcium a vegan eats ,obviously the question must have asked what vegetables contain calcium.

NOW let me give you the FACTS on DAIRY calcium

Dairy milk does increase bone density, but this comes at a terrible price. The latest research is showing that far from protecting bones, milk actually increases the risk of osteoporosis by eroding bone-making cells.

Osteoporosis is linked to the consumption of animal protein because animal protein, unlike plant protein, increases the acidity of blood and tissues. They add that to neutralize this acid, calcium (a very effective base) is pulled from the bones, which weakens them and puts them at greater risk for fracture."

You may find it interesting that most Asians are lactose intolerant and therefore as a people very rarely eat diary. Osteoporosis is also extremely rare in Asian countries. Dairy does contain lots of calcium, yes, but it's not absorbed properly. Dairy consumption creates acidity in your body, which flushes the calcium out. Rather than eat high calcium foods like dairy, it's important to eat a healthy vegetable based diet so you are able to properly absorb and keep all the nutrients you need. Western diets are just horrible, and are the main cause of all the major diseases seen here including heart disease, diabetes, most cancers and yes, osteoporosis.

It's possible you didn't eat enough calcium growing up, but is it also possible that you ate a lot of junk food?

THE REAL FACTS:

calcium is present in your bones. That's what bones are made of.

Trying to put more calcium in your bones by eating dairy products is a huge mistake,as your kidneys will naturally expel it,as well as expel more calcium (the one in your bones). Not many people know this.

Even doctors tell menopausal women to eat dairy products. Mistake. Doctors know nothing about nutrition.

The way to PRESERVE calcium in your bones is to eat plenty of greens (especially dark green leaves) as well as vitamin B complex food (brown rice,etc),seaweed,nuts,seeds, etc (all vegan food).

All the people I have known with osteoporosis were the ones who stuffed themselves with dairy products

250ml of almond milk has 45% of the RDA of Calcium. Dried herbs provide calcium, as a matter of fact Dried savory provides 2132mg of calcium per 100g serving (213%DV). Sesame seeds provide 88mg (9% DV) per tablespoon.

Osteoporosis is accelerated by excess consumption of cow's milk. The amount of protein within cow's milk leeches calcium from the bones in order to combat the acidity that the milk produces in the blood. By promoting dairy products, you're promoting one of the biggest causes of Osteoporosis there is.

Data indicates that frequent milk consumption and higher dietary calcium intakes in middle aged women do not provide protection against hip or forearm fractures... women consuming greater amounts of calcium from dairy foods had significantly increased risks of hip fractures, while no increase in fracture risk was observed for the same levels of calcium from nondairy sources."

12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women American Journal of Public Health

"Even when eating 1,400 mg of calcium daily, one can lose up to 4% of his or her bone mass each year while consuming a high-protein diet."

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

"Increasing one's protein intake by 100% may cause calcium loss to double."

Journal of Nutrition

both are roughly the same except when it comes to protein. ALMOST ALL veggies include a reasonable amount of protein; fresh fruit does not.

The word fresh fruit has different meanings depending on context.

You just recently answered my question and you claimed to call me mentally retarded. Your clearly stupid. I spelt canada correctly. You can't read. cEHnEHdEH? HUH?
