I was looking at the healthy foods section in Strong Women, Strong Bones - there were soy products mentioned, but what about seaweed as an excellent source of calcium? I know it may not be on everyone's favorite food list, but seaweed does have 3 times the calcium of milk.

Seaweed is becoming more and more popular with increased interest in Asian cuisine. Many Asian cultures use seaweed in a variety of dishes, such as sushi. The calories, calcium and magnesium content for several different types of seaweed are listed below. Try seaweed - it is better than you think and most varieties are rich in calcium!
