guess soy wins again, no lactose in soy
I thought that it was understood that calcium was in other food groups but the ease of access to dairy made it easy food choice.
Some people put soy under the spotlight for being a highly “Genetically Modified” crop nowadays as soy milk is not like for like in calcium quantity. Meaning not all soy milk is fortified with the same level of calcium per serve compared with dairy milk.
Reading the nutrition panels is essential if you swap a child’s calcium source from dairy to soy products exclusively. Some parents do swap from dairy to soy milk not realising that one glass of soy milk is not always equal to one glass of dairy milk.
I think most people would be surprised with the variation of calcium levels in soy milk products. .
