GOOD ALTERNATIVES CHARLIE AND THE CALCIUM FACTORY Chocolates double as supplements You're being good and paying attention to your calcium intake. You know that getting enough calcium now means preventing osteoporosis later. So what are you going to eat today to meet your USDA recommended daily dose? How about five cups of cooked turnip greens? Or maybe 10 cheese burgers? Three cans of sardines? Lucky you. Just have two pieces of Adora's gourmet chocolate, a candy that doubles as a calcium supplement designed for women. Each piece of chocolate has 500 milligrams of calcium and includes vitamins D and K to improve calcium absorption. In a completely unscientific office taste test, the Adora chocolates, which come in milk and dark chocolate flavors, were found to be surprisingly good. Still, if you're really concerned about your health, sticking to calcium supplements of the non-chocolate variety might be a better idea. Adora chocolates come in bags of 30, retailing for $7.99.
