Fwd: NOTMILK - Calcium in Food and Milk (some useful stats)

[Guest guest]

Hi group, I'm forwarding this NotMilk item to you

because of the information on foods containing

calcium- and how much. Rather useful, I thought,

especially for newbies.

 

In the spirit of fair play, I have left the rest of

the message intact (an anti-milk guy, as you know),

but those who are lacto-vegetarians can scroll past

all that to the useful list that follows.

My response *exactly* LOL Buuuuuut (don't throw something at me)

remember 1 ounce of almonds has around 14 or 15 g of fat. (Have to say that,

cuz this is a low-fat list, right? Right.)

 

But hey lots of good ways there to get calcium, I thought!
