Almost 75% of Americans' dietary calcium intake comes from dairy – that includes milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt. Interestingly, people in countries that don't focus as much on dairy, like Korea for example, STILL get sufficient calcium. That's because there are multiple foods high in calcium, even though most of us don't realize it.
In fact, in some sources, particularly plants of the Brassica family (think broccoli and kale), calcium bioavailability is as good, if not better, than that from milk. That's great news for those with dairy allergies and intolerance. Surprised? Wait until you read about the other sources (fish, anyone?)
