The big nutritional billing behind milk is that it's a great source of calcium. But that's overrated. The high amount of phosphorus in cow's milk interferes with calcium absorption. Aging magnifies the problem even more, so the older you are, the less calcium you're going to get from moo juice. Better sources of the bone-building mineral include such dark-green as kale, swiss chard, and broccoli. The best source of all, though, is a supplement of calcium citrate or hydroxyapatite. Take 800-1600 mg a day.
Green peas have 3 times more fiber, 40% more iron, and 25% more vitamin A and C than green beans.
