The latest scam. Calcium is calcium. The best sources are dairy products
and cruciferous vegetables (dark green stuff like broccoli, kale, spinach).
It really depresses me that so many otherwise rational Extropians are
so ready to waste hard-earned money on worthless supplements when good
nutrition with real scientific backing is as easy and cheap as your local
supermarket produce section.
