Can a vegan diet supply sufficient calcium?

Yes it certainly can. There are no scientific reports of calcium deficiency in adult vegans. Looking solely at calcium intake and not at calcium losses tells only half the story, while a vegan’s intake might be less than a meat eater’s, their losses are likely to be much lower. The evidence is that a plant-based diet free of animal products - a vegan diet - doesn’t produce these losses. A vegan diet rich in vegetables, fruits and whole grains can provide the basis for a long and healthy life, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and many other diseases. In contrast, diets loaded with dairy products are associated with increased risk of osteoporosis, certain cancers, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
