I have added a new column, that of net available calcium ( this is supposed
to have the oxelates, etc taken into account). Note that spinach actually
drags calcium from other sources.
Data not available for items with no figures.
Source: "The Calcium Diet" by Dr Cedric Garland and Dr Frank Garland, 1988.
To be able to absorb calcium, the authors suggest, requires the presence of
vitamin D in addition to synergistic minerals.
