Cool tool to find out what foods have the vitamins you need

I suggest you discard this *resource*. Press calcium, and it tells you that humans should drink cow milk. Stay away from dairy products...

Thats merely one thing they suggest for calcium....
Calcium Benefits Calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth and helps prevent arthritis. But that’s not all this mineral is good for: Calcium helps your brain communicate with your nerves, regulates blood pressure, and may reduce the symptoms of PMS and the risk of colon cancer. RealAge Recommendation Government guidelines suggest 1,000–1,200 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day is adequate, but RealAge recommends a bit more: 1,000–1,500 mg of calcium per day from food and supplements -- but not all at once. Your body can only absorb 500–600 mg at a time, so divide it into two or three doses over the course of a day. Tip: If you take a calcium supplement, take it with vitamin D (they’re often combined in one pill) to help absorption -- and with a little magnesium to reduce the constipation sometimes caused by calcium. Don’t pair calcium with iron or fiber supplements, which can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb the bone-building mineral.

Ah just ignore the "stay away from milk" people. If people listen to enough of them there really would be nothing we could or should consume.
