Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Dairy is mentioned as a calcium food on pg 122 of the Okinawa Program by Wilcox and Suzuki. regards. Rec's 2-4 servings and suggests calcium fortified soy milk. I wonder why I can't just eat a pill, it they're going to "fortify" soy milk.
