http://www.ellenskitchen.com/faqs/calcium.html  I really like this site and will explore it later for more information on cooking and gardening.

http://www.bawarchi.com/health/calcium.html  This is an Indian site and lists Indian food sources for Calcium.  It also states a lower amount of RDA for Indians, which I find very interesting.  I'll have to ask Shahram what some of this stuff is.

http://www.nichd.nih.gov/milk/whycal/vegetables.cfm  You can see the NIH push for dairy here.  They list a quite small and odd assortment of calcium-rich foods.  Clearly, they have a dairy bias.

http://www.project-aware.org/Health/Osteo/osteo-bonehealth2.shtml  This is a very cool all-around site.  It gives a list of herbs that also help with prevention of osteoporosis.

http://www.soystache.com/calcium.htm  This is an excellent list of not just calcium-rich foods...it gives cholesterol, protein, magnesium and a few other detals.  It's a vegan site, so it's going to be thorough. :o)  Scroll to the bottom for the list.

http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/dc/caz/bone/poro/osmilk.jsp  This site has a better breakdown of ages and calcium needs.  It also has a good list of different beans and their values, but not as detailed as the Soy Stache list.

http://www.naturodoc.com/library/nutrition/calcium.htm I like this site because it talks about different things than the others.  There's also a calcium inhibitors section, the only one I found in all my surfing.
