Got Milk? Or Are you Getting Enough?
I was recently invited by the Got Milk? team to an event at Java Jones Coffeehouse (map) on 9th Avenue in San Diego to meet award-winning barista, Heather Perry. Which in case you didn’t know Heather is a two-time US Barista Champion. She has appeared on the Food Network and the Discovery Channel and even has a Guinness Book World Record for building the world’s largest expresso machine. We were able to sample the coffee that she is currently the Director of Training and Consulting which her family owns, Coffee Klatch. It had fabulous flavor!
According to the FDA ninety-nine percent of all the calcium in the body is found in the bones and teeth. The remaining one percent is in the blood. Calcium plays important roles in nerve conduction, muscle contraction and blood clotting. The recommended milligrams of calcium per day is 1,000 for adults between 19-50 years old. Got Milk? found a cleaver way to increase the amount of calcium while still enjoying those lattes.
