An Orange A Day Keeps The Osteopath Away
Human breast milk is undoubtedly nature's perfect food
for an infant. A 100-gram portion of human breast milk
contains 33 milligrams of calcium. Please keep the number
"33" in mind while reading this column.
The same 100-gram portion of Florida oranges contains
43 milligrams of calcium, thirty percent more bone
building calcium than human breast milk! Everybody
should enjoy a daily orange.
Enjoy a handful of dried apricots (67 mg of calcium)
or a snack of raisins (62 mg) or become a pistachio
nut (161 mg) addict like I am.
In my kitchen, parsley (203 mg) is used more than just
to garnish dinners. Parsley is minced into salads,
cole slaw, soups, and stocks. Speaking of cole slaw...
raw cabbage (49 mg) contains more calcium than human
breast milk too. I add shredded carrots (37 mg) to my
cole slaw recipe.
Tonight, I'll be cooking a pasta/bean soup with chopped
escarole (81 mg). The white beans contain 135 mg of calcium
per 100 gram portion, more than four times the amount of
calcium contained in a portion of human breast milk.
My favorite of all soups is cream of watercress, made with
freshly made unsweetened soy milk. The watercress contains
151 milligrams of calcium. Soymilk contains more "absorbable"
calcium than even cow's milk. See:

My favorite calcium-rich food is hummus, made with
chickpeas (150 mg) and tahini, or ground sesame seeds
(1160 mg).
Don't be fooled by dairy industry marketing. Milk
producers pretend to own the monopoly on calcium.
It is clear that they do not.
