And consider this: Another way to get 100% of recommended calcium is to eat 4 CUPS of garlic a day!
"Garlic contains 246 mg per cup or 25% of the RDA."
We'll be giant-sized or stinky, but we'll have good bones. [QUOTE]

I have a visual of plus-size women with excellent bones and reeking of garlic, all line dancing at LSL.

Sorry Jimbo, I don't mean to make light of this subject. We're all interested in better nutrition. I think I always believed the "one a day is good for you" hype. I will certainly be doing more research on the safety aspect of taking supplements.

My next-door neighbour is 84. She is healthier and has more energy than most 50 year olds. She never visits medical doctors, just a Naturopath. Kinda makes me wonder. She never takes prescription medication. She has a lot of friends, loves life, and drinks red wine every day.
