Or how that affects our daily intake as most dietary calcium come from other sources. Pretty big leap in logic to suggest that calcium levels in one species (I would hope they used the same...?) implies the same happened to the rest and that it is having an impact on our health. Also, which phytochemicals? Since when has chlorophil been healthy...?
