SCI Q&A

Q. I have read that almonds are a good source of calcium and also that they can block calcium absorption. Which is correct? A. Almonds contain calcium in significant amounts, but by government definition, they do not provide enough per serving to qualify as a good source, and some of it may be chemically blocked from absorption.
