Calcium

Great Sources of Calcium

Dark green vegetables, such as broccoli and collard, mustard, and turnip
greens are much better sources of calcium than milk. A single cup of
broccoli contains almost a fourth of the U.S. RDA of calcium. Another good
source is calcium-fortified orange juice. Beans and tortillas are also
good sources of calcium.

Some people do need hormone treatments and/or calcium supplementation for
varying conditions. The risks and benefits should be discussed with one's
doctor.

**my note--some tofu is made with Calcium nitrate as the coagulant, and
is therefore a good source of calcium. Some tofu is made with nigari as
the coagulant, and does not have much calcium. Read the label.
