d. Coffee, raisin bran and milk, and sausage at breakfast; a can of cola and a hot dog on a high-fiber bun at lunch; cocktails be-fore dinner; steak with brown rice, celery, and red wine for dinner
A
These foods in these quantities supply 1204 mg of calcium. Administering estrogen can increase the risk of cancer and heart disease. Alendronate (Fosamax) must be taken with a full glass of water on an empty stomach after awakening. Afterward, the patient must sit upright and refrain from eating or drinking for 30 minutes. Alcohol and high amounts of protein and salt inhibit cal-cium uptake, whereas caffeine, excess fiber, and phosphorus (in the cola) promote calcium ex-cretion.
