Myth - If I stop eating eggs and dairy products I will become calcium-deficient

Fact - Vegetarians don't need to eat eggs and dairy products to get enough calcium

People who are vegan exclude all produce derived from an animal, which includes egg and dairy products. The majority of vegetarians are lacto-ovo vegetarian, which means they still include egg, dairy milk and cheese as a part of their eating plan. While dairy is a good source of calcium, foods like fortified soy milk, almonds, sesame seeds and broccoli all contribute to calcium requirements as well.
