I'm getting more serious about my calcium intake - I have to go back to my Armenian diet, yogurt being one of the main staples of our diet since ancient times. By the way the Armenian word for yogurt is "madzoun" and as with flow of people around the globe, you bring with you your own culture and food wherever you settle. In recent Armenian history in mid 1800s due to discriminatory policies of the Turkish government many Armenians of Turkish nationality had to flee - hence one of the contributions to American society by Armenians was the introduction of yogurt. I was reading by chance a book of natural beauty (i have to find that book in my home library and mention the book and write the title here - it wasn't written by an Armenian by the way -) the author mentioned that madzoun was introduced in MA by an Armenian family and the brand name was actually simply the original Armenian name: madzoun. Well, coming back to the calcium content of madzoun or yogurt today i found a chart of calcium rich food and here is the link: The chart of osteo calcium cald in pdf format I'm having right now 8oz of nonfat yogurt with a slice of 7 grain yogurt, with spread of zaatar and few olives and a glass of water. I need a calorie calculator, but then again why bother - i love these and i'm eating them ;)

The New York State Department of Health web sites states the following about the Vinegar Test Calcium:
- Simply put the supplement into a glass of clear vinegar. This creates an acidic environment much like that of your stomach. Be sure your heat the vinegar as noted above. Do not overheat it or the test will not work correctly.
- Stir the solution occasionally.
- If the calcium supplement disintegrates within 30 minutes, it should dissolve in your stomach, too. If the supplement does not completely dissolve, you may want to choose an alternative calcium supplement.
They also advise that " If you are taking acid blockers for indigestion, reflux or other gastrointestinal conditions, your body may use calcium citrate better than other calcium compounds.
