Soy milk is generally fortified with calcium. Mmmm... soy milk

If soy milk bugs you, add some Nesquik or Milo

Boil milk and add some coffee to it ... Cuppuchino.

I read somewhere that milk is so processed these days we get no calcium from it

Chow a tin of tuna for lunch and you should be sorted . I am not 100% certain about supplements, how sure are we the medical grade vitamins are anywhere near as effective as vitamins in food? Sure all these studies have been done and paid for by the billion dollar industry but who knows. I could also the have tinfoil hat syndrome here

Well i eat a tin everyday and i don't notice it, what does the added mercury do? Is it worse than the air we breathe everyday?
Interesting, seems like a rather bigger issue with tuna . so many symptoms i think i need a mercury test now haha just to be sure.

Calcium is not a vitamin, but too much vitamins at wrong interval is not good and should rather be absorbed from a good diet. Even better is when you prepare you food like your grandmother would...

Yea but you get calcium supplements, my point was the best way to get any supplement on the market is eat in your diet if possible. If not then take the supplement for sure.

Since when are you a health nut?

Read rest of what I wrote? I'm not at all disagreeing with you:

I've always aimed at eating properly over just popping ****. Just panning out my options for calcium in the winter then goats milk aren't around

Almonds, broccoli, spinach and other green veggies should be sufficient then, I think. But if you don't mind soy milk then go nuts. I love soy milk, I have my cereal with it, mix Nesquik/Milo in it when the mood strikes me. But mostly quite happy to have it as is
