One significant consequence of a diet low in calcium may be the development of osteoporosis, a disease in which the bones become brittle and easily broken. Betweeen 20 to 50 million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, primarily middle-aged white women and those who have a family history of fragile bones in later years. As a result, many face constant back pain and life-threatening fractures. Along with regular weight-bearing exercise, such as walking or running, one of the best defenses against osteoporosis may be a lifetime of healthful eating that includes enough calcium. Yogurt is an excellent way to increase calcium intakes. Research has determined that of all calcium sources, the calcium in dairy foods, such as yogurt, is among the most bioavailable.

• To add yogurt to hot foods, make sure it is at room temperature. Blend a little of the hot food into the yogurt first to prevent curdling.

• For baking, it should be at room temperature. Generally, you will need only 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
