A member asked:

Have bone density scan tomo morn. no calcium supplmnts but drank 3 glasses almondmilk:135% daily value calcium (fortified w/tricalcium phosphate).bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If too much sugar: It can be bad if the almond milk has sugar added, which it probably does. Drinking sweetened drinks is a fast way to down many, many grams of sugar. Sugar is bad stuff (but a little bit is ok). As for the bone density scan, no worries. Calcium-fortified foods and drinks won't alter one's bone density overnight.

Dr Seibert and another doctor agreed
