Robert- I was not saying you have to have 300 mg in a glass or even the
RDA-I am well ware of PCRM (I helped them write a junior high nutrition
curriculum). I totally agree that a high protein (specifically animal
protein) has been associated with a negative calcium balance and we should
be looking at decreasing our protein more than increasing calcium. I was
just offering nutritional info. so everyone would know concentrated sources
of calcium if they wish to choose them...some other yummy options for the
drink are using almond butter in place of the almonds and/or using the Rice
Dream in place of water. (This is basically a smoothie!) I'm with you in
your quest to inform people of the ills of dairy!-Cherie
