After watching closely on television advertising, which promotes a product enriched in calcium, I feel the need to clarify that calcium is not only in dairy products and tell you not to forget this fact, because they often believe that as our intake of milk is low, do not cover the AI for calcium, when in reality, there are many foods that are not derived from milk that can help us meet the needs of this mineral.

The publicity was assessed calcium intake of a person questioned about their consumption of dairy products, however, was not provided for other sources of calcium in the diet, such as fish, some fruits and vegetables, bread, cereals and other .

For that reason, I believe we should not forget that calcium is not only in dairy products because even though we have a high intake of milk, yogurt or cheese, we can cover our share of mineral using seeds, dried fruits and other common foods.

This erroneous concept that the calcium in milk only this can push us to consume mineral supplements or calcium-fortified products have a high cost.

Beyond economics, if exceeded recommended calcium intake can suffer hypercalcemia that, although rare in its development by the diet, also has serious consequences to health.
