Vegan Calcium and Osteoporosis Links

This will be my ongoing catch-all post for calcium and osteoporosis links, and is a follow-up to my China Study discussion.

• Here is a fact sheet from the very reputable Vegetarian Resource Group.  It includes general information, links to studies, and a list of high-calcium plant foods.
• I’ve included a permanent link at the right to Wegman’s Vegetable Nutrition, which includes % Daily Value of calcium for two pages of vegetables.
• Here is a posting where I discussed sodium.
• This is a podcast from Compassionate Cooks, Where do I get my calcium if I don’t drink cow’s milk? Just click to listen.  It’s excellent and well-researched – I often follow up Colleen’s statements, and have never found one to be mistaken.  Her permanent link is to the right.
• Should dairy be recommended as part of a healthy vegetarian diet? Counterpoint.
