If you do something as extreme as taking your whole family off of dairy

can be consumed in sufficient amounts to satisfy a growing child's need
for calcium. You'll have to find a good, milk-free supplement.

Dear Mark,

Mother Nature, in her wisdom, set the standard when she placed 33 mg of
calcium into every 100 grams of human breast milk...Carrots contain 37,
potato chips 40, beans 60-150, green veggies...LOADED!

When reading those supplements, note that they contain equal amounts of
magnesium.  For every mg of calcium that you wish to absorb, you need an
equal mg of magnesium.  Also, note that magnesium is the center atom of
chlorophyll (plant blood) just as iron is the center atom of our blood.

When we eat "green stuff" we get calcium and magnesium in a perfect
balance.  It's absorbable!

Why do you imagine that 25 million American women have osteoporosis?
They have been drinking or eating, on average, to pounds of milk or
dairy products per day for 50 years.  It is interesting to note that the
nations with the highest rates of osteoporosis are Denmark, Holland,
Norway and Sweden...the Dairy consumers.

The average American eats three ounces of meat per day, 39 ounces of
milk and dairy...Do you see a pattern here?

Richard Heaney, the dairy industry expert, recently wrote that only 25%
of the calcium in milk is absorbed.  What happens to the other 75%?
