When I say the word “calcium,” what’s the first thing you think of? My guess is that you envision a nice tall glass of cow's milk (dairy), right? Well, one of the biggest nutrition myths is the belief that we must have cow's milk (dairy) for strong bones.
So... What's The Truth?
Cow's milk (dairy) is highly acidic and actually breaks bones down instead of strengthening them. You're needlessly toxifying your body. Bones need complex ingredients to be healthy (not just calcium). They also need Vitamin K and magnesium. Cow's milk (dairy) is not only lacking in these nutrients, but it also leaches nutrients from the bone (the opposite of what we want).
The Healthier Sources of Calcium
We should be prioritising plant-based calcium sources rather than cow's milk (dairy). Interestingly, absorption and utilisation of calcium in the body is 2 times higher from plant-based sources compared to from dairy milk
Here are some to consider...
Ditch the myth that dairy is your sole source of calcium – our comprehensive comparison reveals a world of plant-based alternatives that surpass the calcium content found in dairy / cow's milk (128mg per 100ml of cow's milk). Take a look at our insightful table, where milligrams of calcium per serving are stacked up against various plant-based options, proving that the dairy aisle is just the beginning.
Should You Be Supplementing?
Supplements of calcium are shown to be ineffective at preserving bone mineral density and come with side effects (kidney stones, soft tissue calcification), better off getting good amounts of sunlight and plant-based calcium sources.
