Calcium in milk is also not bio-available once it’s been homogenized, because it’s stripped out of its protective fat layer and expose to lactose which binds to it in a way that humans can’t undo on our own.
Milk is a fantastic source of calcium, when you don’t mess with it too much. Why wouldn’t it be? It’s evolved specifically to grow mammals up to full size as quickly as possible, which includes growing a lot of bone. The issue is that we’ve monkeyed with it in a way that’s convenient for producers, but bad for consumers.
Do you have any links?
It's not a claim I've ever heard before.
Not a link, but a book. Deep Nutrition, by Catherine Shanahan.
She cites a couple hundred studies in the book, worth a read if you’re into this stuff.
