DESCRIPTION: Soymilk (soya milk) should be shaken before pouring to get at the calcium that settles to the bottom. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/calc... and I'll try to answer it! My calcium recommendation (www.drgreger.org/latestrecommendations.pdf) is to get least 600 mg daily via calcium-­rich plant foods—preferably low-­oxalate dark green leafy vegetables, which includes all greens except spinach, chard, and beet greens (all very healthy foods, but not good calcium sources due to their oxalate content). Check out the video Plant vs. Cow Calcium (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant...) for more.
