I've heard that too. There's also speculation that the Dairy Advisory Board plays a great role in setting the RDA for calcium.On 9/8/06, Bill Jones <billj AT harborside.com> wrote:

Millions of Chinese have been getting enough calcium for thousands of

keep your protein intake down to maintenance levels, you don't need
nearly so much calcium. I'd recommend looking at the traditional
Chinese diet.
