The US mind equates calcium with milk and milk products. It is almost a holy belief, reinforced by milk marketing, dieticians & the government.  However most of the rest of the world doesn't use milk the way we do in the US.  Some cultures use cheese or yogurt.  Other cultures depend on beans & greens.  Just because the American mind set is that milk is "necessary" doesn't make it so :-)  Pat in SNJ
