Milk contains a lot of calcium but in a form that is most difficult for humans to absorb. As a result, the calcium passes right through your system and is excreted as waste.
Only in raw milk is the calcium easily absorbable. Raw milk, however, is just about impossible to obtain, as most states have out-lawed the sale of raw milk.
The enzyme “phosphatase”, found in raw milk is what makes calcium easily absorbable. Unfortunately “phosphatase” is completely destroyed during the pasteurization process.
Thousands of blood tests have shown that those who drink 3 to 4 glasses of milk a day, have the lowest levels of blood calcium. This is bad news for those concerned with bone health and who thought milk was an easy solution to this problem.
Actually, the best source of calcium for humans is in the fruits and vegetables that you eat.
