LIE NO. 4: VEGETARIANS SUFFER FROM A CALCIUM DEFICIENCY! FALSE! Calcium is a necessary component for the formation of the bone substance. Calcium can be found in sesame, nuts, kale, parsley, spinach, soybeans, savoy cabbage, parsnips, leeks and many other kinds of vegetables and grains. Important: Phytic acid is a storage form of phosphorus in grains and binds with calcium to form a compound. In this compound the calcium in bread, for instance, cannot be absorbed by the body. Only the traditional 24-hour sourdough process, as it has been practiced for centuries, divides this compound into its component parts. This division does not take place in the bacteria of today’s usual sourdough process, with so-called quick-starters and fermentation aids. This means that one can take as much calcium as one likes, but it cannot be absorbed and is worthless for the body. On the other hand, bread that is produced as in earlier times with a 24-hour sourdough process contains calcium that can be optimally absorbed.
