For generations, we’ve been telling our children to down glasses of milk to stock up on calcium. Countless children are told to be good and drink their milk, with their parents preaching that this is the key to strong, healthy bones. Dairy products are indeed rich in calcium, and an adequate calcium balance is vital for the human body. Around 98% of the calcium in the body is found in the bones – and thus, is a decisive factor in terms of their stability. For comparison: a glass of milk contains some 240mg of calcium, while a litre of mineral water may contain 300mg and more.
