AAARRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! Don't abstain from all these wonderful
calcium sources unless you plan on taking a supplement! Osteoporosis
continues to increase in the general population and one certainly cannot
play a clarinet while permanently doubled over, although it makes for a
rather amusing visual. How about just drinking some water then brushing
teeth after drinking milk or eating dairy products? Save those bones.

Actually, the prevailing wisdom in the circles I travel is that the protein
in the diary products interferes with calcium uptake, and that green leafy
vegetables are a better and healthier source. Is a matter of fact the
increase in protein consumption, and decrease in vegetable consumption is a
puted cause of the increase in osteoporosis.
