"But you can still feel virtuous about the high-quality dairy (and calcium) you’re enjoying."
I admit I have not read all the comments so not sure if anyone else pointed this out but the bit about calcium is not quite accurate. Calcium is water soluble so while consuming low-fat or non-fat dairy products means you are getting more calcium as compared with full fat, if you drain away the water... the calcium goes with it.
Thanks for the ideas and directions on frozen yogurt! I'll have to dig out our ice cream machine and make room in the freezer :)
Well, not all of the calcium disappears, apparently - since the whey is drained from milk to make cheese, yet cheese is very high in calcium... So there's something more here than meets the eye, I guess. Thanks for pointing this out - maybe some of our nutritionally savvy readers can chime in? PJH
