I see that the last two tips of the day have been about making sure to get enough calcium by having plenty of dairy such as milk, cheese, and foods fortified with calcium.
The British Medical Association has published a study that showed we actually get very little calcium from dairy. Although it may have a lot of calcium, we don't absorb it.
The best source of calcium for a human is in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and broccoli.
Furthermore, many people are highly intolerant to dairy products. I get bad acne when I have it. If I had to rely on dairy to get my calcium, I would be in big trouble!
Calcium doesn't really come from milk
