Is it true that FAT FREE YOGURT isn't an adequate source of calcium?!


Question:

Is it true that FAT FREE YOGURT isn't an adequate source of calcium?


Answers:

No, not true. In fact, quite the opposite

Not only does it typically contains 30-40% of the recommended Daily Value of calcium, but because the live-active cultures in yogurt increase the absorption of calcium, an 8-ounce serving of yogurt gets more calcium into the body than the same volume of milk can.

And regarding the answer above, it doesn't matter that yogurt doesn't contain vitamin A since you should be getting enough vitamin A from the rest of your diet. In fact, because vitamin A is fat-soluble and is stored in the liver when not used, you don't even need to eat vitamin a-rich foods every day.
