Foods such as broccoli and almonds are a good source of calcium in the diet
–FALSE-
A handful of almonds (about 15) contains only about 40mg calcium and only about half of this is absorbed by the body. One cup of broccoli contains about 45mg calcium. Compare this to a glass (200ml) of milk that contains 300mg calcium. Considering that an adult female needs at least 1000mg/day, that’s a lot of almonds and broccoli! Dairy foods and calcium-fortified substitutes such as soy milks are the best source of calcium.
