If human adults are not to drink milk?!
Answers:
The same place the cows get it from: leafy green vegetables.
Ask the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, or most Asian societies for that matter (all pre-WW2), Native Americans (pre-colonization) where they got their calcium from.
This is probably a jab at the milk advocates, but I'll play along. There are plenty of vegan foods that are very high in calcium such as blackstrap molasses, sea vegetables, leafy greens (kale, collard greens, mustard greens), broccoli, okra, tofu, tempeh, tahini, chia seeds, hemp seeds, almonds, and a lot more.
Contrary to popular belief, you can get calcium without having to wrap your lips around a cow's udders. Cow's milk is not even close to ideal for bone health - it's been linked to bone fracture in both men and women. See Harvard Nurses' Study for further information.
Besides animal based dairy products there are a lot of other calcium rich foods to choose from. Foods such as beans, figs, collard greens, kelp, almonds, tuna, salmon, and soymilk are excellent sources of calcium and should be incorporated into your diet. Many food products today are also calcium fortified such as breakfast cereals, orange juice, or oatmeal. These calcium-fortified foods are another great way to incorporate more calcium into your diet.
As a last choice, you could take a calcium supplement.
Its really frightening when people think the only place they can get calcium from is milk. It shows how poor your knowledge of nutrition is.
Calcium: broccoli, almonds, bok choy,tofu, fortified soy milk, okra, avocado, squash, hummus, the list goes on. Its sad that you only know of one product that has calcium. And just so you know, the calcium in dairy is not meant for humans to consume. Dairy leaches calcium from our bones CAUSING osteoporosis. The countries with the highest osteoporosis rates are the same that have the highest dairy consumption and USA is number 3. In Japan, there was no such thing as osteoporosis until they started incorporating dairy into their diets.
There is calcium is ALOT of other foods. Even cinnamon has calcium in it! And that's a spice! It's a myth that we can only get calcium from dairy, in fact we can't get much from dairy because we don't absorb it well, we don't digest it well, because it's unnatural. I heard that milk actually leaches calcium from the bones, so it actually takes calcium from your body not gives you more. Think about it... Where does it come from? And what is it intended for?
Where do elephants get calcium from once they stop drinking their mothers milk? Elephants are among the biggest, strongest animals on the planet and they don't nurse for their entire lives! Use your brain! What about people who are lactose intolerant and can't drink cows milk? You just assume they have osteoporosis? There are plenty of vegan sources of calcium, both natural and fortified. I get more calcium in a day now than when I drank milk!
I've never liked milk, even as a child. I stopped drinking it when my parents stopped making me sit at the table until my milk was gone.
I've always liked yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, and vegetable sources with calcium. I now, at 51, take a couple Citrical daily to be sure I'm getting enough calcium. My dexa scans show I don't have abnormal bone loss.
Hi. The media has brainwashed society into believing that the ONLY source of calcium is cow's milk, and that we somehow must NEED cow's milk. It is so sad and this is only being done for profit. Vegans get their calcium from vegetables such as broccoli. I hope this helps:)
Funny . .
Humans are not meant to drink cow's milk: it's unnatural. Cows get calcium from the food they eat, which is leafy greens.
Who told you that's were calcium comes from? I'll bet it was via the dairy industry.
suck on your wife's, momma or granny's teats !!!
