Calcium needs to be in an already absorbed form ie in nuts, seeds and leafy greens for the body to absorb it. Calcium dumping is a serious health risk when calcium is not properly absorbed from supplementation. Also let's not forget that cod liver oil provides the essential A and D as well as omega 3. Keep it simple I say! I have always been against calcium supplementation. Calcium needs to be in an already absorbed form ie in nuts, seeds and leafy greens for the body to absorb it.

Books like "The Whole-Food Guide to Strong Bones: A Holistic Approach" surely take some more progressive approaches to bone health. Ultimately, the lesson may be that there are very few silver bullets, even in supplementation. Supplements will never take the place of good nutrition, and good nutrition may not be what conventional wisdom tells us! The vitamin D story continues to unfold, with pretty profound implications.

Yet another reason to get as much nutrient as possible from food sources. It's my understanding that, with an adequate amount of vit D, bodies do a pretty good job of self-regulating how much calcium gets absorbed from food. Not so good with supplements. Understanding changes daily, just like eggs and vit E! As always, stay tuned for next week's/month's/year's meta-analysis.... Thanks for posting this.

You select just what you want, and the plates are added up at the end to determine what you owe. It is delicious and brilliant. :) Dimsum is a traditional Chinese cuisine in which small portions of a variety of dishes, including an assortment of steamed or fried dumplings, are served one after another, usually from a series of carts that circle the dining area.
