I just read through some of the responses to Calcium via Ice Cream could make the fat go away – I thought I was going to split a seam, laughing so much! But seriously, I have a major problem with calcium. It seems like my system is intolerable to those chocolate chews, and other assorted supplements, including Tums. I do worry about not getting enough calcium and turning into the humpback of North Carolina. Any suggestions?

I think weight bearing exercise has been shown to be even more effective in preventing osteoporosis than calcium, although it doesn't replace the need for it.

Calcium is an issue with me too especially since the results of a bone density test. I've been taking a calcium supplement (per dr's advise) for a number of years and try to eat as many calcium rich foods as possible and weight bearing exercises. I know I had posted about this concern awhile ago and Donna had done a great post in reply about the exercises that are most beneficial in the battle against osteoporosis. Seems like we have quite a few things in common!
