FYI re Calcium and bones, google Vivian Goldschmidt and her program "Save our Bones". Very interesting info. Be careful that your body can absorb any calcium that you take, as otherwise it will lodge in your joints etc and harden in places that won't serve you.

I have found that dietary sources of calcium work best for me, rather than through supplements, but I take at least 300-400 mg. magnesium and 2000 vit D in supplementation so that the calcium that I do get will have a chance to be absorbed. I also will use homeopathy-Mag Phos- if I feel the need for more magnesium.

I don't do dairy (except eggs daily and yogurt on occasion) so most of my calcium comes from veggies and nuts.

Old myths die hard and there are tons of them out there.
