One gram of juniper ash contains the same amount of calcium as a glass of milk.
The Ancients knew.

“But because most American Indians are lactose intolerant, “they aren’t getting that same source of calcium from dairy products,” Begay says.”
Huh.
I knew LI was higher among native Americans than among Europeans but I didn’t know it was most.
And I was unaware it was a cypress.

And I was unaware that its formal name is Juniperus ashei.
FMD … some botanist really phoned it in that day.
This one stumps me a bit. I thought the majority of eastern Asians were lactose intolerant. Walking the streets of melbourne town on any given morning and i see shedloads of people walking around with their flat whites. Being east Asian doesn’t seem to preclude people from downing the morning coffee at a great rate of knots.

Baffling though it seems to decent folk like you and I, soy lattes are a popular item…

I’ve already shot down that line of argument.

But why would you burn juniper to get calcium?

Exactly. Not much calcium in Juniper ash, unless it is growing on limestone, which is highly unlikely in Australia.
I get calcium from sardines and KFC. I still find it annoying that I can no longer buy canned tuna with chewable bones.

Milk is mostly water.

FFs. Juniper on calcium and in Australia? Bloody scientists should stick to facts. NOT bloody likely at all.
Um, the item is about Navajo. I don’t think they were/are in Australia.
