Thanks for the tip Richard. Weston Price's analysis of traditional
cultures found that all of them had very high in-takes of vits./minerals--
far beyond current RDA standards. Regarding calcium, some cultures used
milk (the Swiss in isolated valleys; the Masai), while the others consumed
bones/bone marrow. Following a caveman diet really hurts for calcium
in-take unless one is willing to mess around with bones, which at present
I don't have the time or inclination to do. So I will continue to take
bone meal and cal/mag (1:1) supplements, along with eating canned
sardines/salmon and a variety of greens each week.
Todd, I tried some purslane this week. Wow!!! It was excellent. I can't
believe that I've been pulling this out of my yard and garden for years
and just chucking it.
Cheers!
