We know how important it is to take enough calcium in our diet from early childhood on through our thirties, but milk, the calcium super drink of our childhood, might not be the best source of calcium after all!
Although milk does contain calcium, it is not the best way for the body to get calcium. Drinking reduced fat milk is a healthier choice, but milk contains high amounts of saturated fat and your diet should not contain too much milk.
A study conducted by Harvard University suggests that diets with too much milk consumption can lead to prostate cancer in men and possibly ovarian cancer in women.
To be sure you are getting enough calcium in your diet, be sure to consume lots of green, leafy vegetables like collard greens and kale, as well as dried beans and legumes. There are also a lot of products that are fortified with calcium, like orange juice. There are also many calcium supplements, but be sure to combine them with vitamin D so that your body can fully absorb the calcium from the supplement – many multi-vitamins contain calcium and vitamin D.
