In 'Got Calcium? The Most Calcium-Rich Milks' by Carl Demadema, various sources of calcium-rich milk alternatives are explored. Cow's milk stands as a common and rich source of calcium, often accompanied by vitamin D aiding calcium absorption. Low-fat or non-fat versions are recommended for reduced saturated fat intake. The article highlights fortified plant-based options like almond, soy, and oat milk, emphasizing the importance of checking labels for fortification. Additionally, fortified rice milk serves as an alternative for those with lactose intolerance or milk allergies. Coconut milk, although generally lower in calcium content, can also be fortified. Hemp, cashew, and flax milk are presented as other viable plant-based alternatives fortified with calcium and vitamin D, providing dairy-free options rich in nutrients.
