Did the calcium supplement get rid of the white spots?

I have always eaten a lot of beef (still do) and back then consumed a lot of
dairy too so, like you, I would think zinc (or calcium) deficiency wouldn't
be an issue (and especially not with supplementation) unless something were
preventing uptake.  Through different diet changes through the years the one
constant was always the white spots; therefore, it's hard for me not to come
to the conclusion that it's what I've *not* been eating  since going paleo
that has made the difference.  Other diets--whether SAD, Ornish, LF/HC,
etc.--are not so very different from each other because of reliance on
non-paleo foods.
