Calcium can be obtained through the inclusion of fortified orange juice, dark leafy green vegetables, tofu processed with calcium sulfate and more. In fact, orange juice fortified with calcium will provide 300 milligrams in one 8-ounce glass. The Recommended Daily Allow- ance for adults between the ages of 19 and 50 is 1,000 milligrams per day, an easy goal to achieve when dairy is part of the diet. The key to a successful diet is variety. Those who follow it religiously can enjoy stir-fried vegetables, whole-wheat breads, dates, apples, frozen fruit des- serts, tofu lasagna, soy iced cream, veggie burg- ers and a great deal more. I don’t know about you, but it sounds good to me. Therefore, while it’s not my choice, I must accept that some people prefer to fol- low veganism. I do recommend a per- son check with his or her physician before making the dramatic change. Peo- ple should make sure that they receive adequate vita- mins and minerals daily and should undergo blood tests periodically to deter- mine that they are neither anemic nor vitamin defi- cient. If so, dietary modi- fications or supplements might be appropriate. A physician or nutritionist can answer any questions.

After a family gath- ering this summer, our floors developed little round dents in the rooms. We realized that our future daughter- in-law, who always wears stilettos, was the culprit. The last time she was in our home, we could clearly see the dent trail she left. How do we tact- fully ask people to remove their shoes without hurt- ing their feelings? — Dimples Dear Dimples: Hardwood floors are not expected to remain pris- tine, and nicks and dents are the cost of entertain- ing. However, it is perfectly acceptable to ask guests to remove their shoes at the door, especially if you provide cozy little slippers for them to wear instead. Some will refuse, which is OK, but your son should encourage his future wife to comply. Dear Annie: I’m a 21-year-old woman, and I go commando, just like the daughter of “Wor- ried Mom of Britney Spears Wannabe.” Many of my friends also go commando, but none of us use tampons. If our “natural secretions” can be washed out of our panties, they can also be washed out of our jeans. Most pants are thick enough that staining is not notice- able on the outside. Why on earth would any sane woman want to wear a tampon when she doesn’t have to? It puts them at risk for infections and toxic shock syndrome, as well as discomfort that is simply not necessary. — Commando Girl from New York Dear N.Y.: We were surprised at the number of women (of all ages) who like to go commando. We find it less hygienic than wearing panties, and we prefer not to wash our jeans every day. But to each her own.

There are members of my family who have taken on this way of eating for well over a year now. Yes, indeed, they have lost a lot of weight on it, but my concern is what it is doing or rather not doing for the body. Their color seems pale to me, for one thing, and when they come to my house, they eat whatever I have with gusto. Dear Reader: I’m a bit confused. If they eat what- ever you prepare, they are either being kind or they aren’t true vegans. This diet excludes all animal- derived ingredients such as meat, eggs and dairy prod- ucts. Many vegans prefer not to eat any foods that use animal products as part of the processing, such as refined white sugar. The diet includes soy milk, tofu, peanut butter, rice, beans, fruits, nuts, veg- etables and grains. Almost all foods, with the excep- tion of alcohol, fats and sugar provide some necessary protein to the daily diet. Keep in mind that because the habit is so popular, producers are now manufacturing hot dogs, cheeses, mayonnaise, ice cream and countless other items — all without the use of animal products. People may make the decision to become vegans for a variety of reasons, such as health, weight loss or for the environ- ment. Because the diet is relatively free of saturated fats and cholesterol, it’s an easy way to lose weight. The diet lacks vitamin D. A simple means of combating this is through exposure Dr. Gott Annie’s mailbox Klamath Falls Rather cloudy and cold today. Snow tonight, accumulating 1-2 inches. Mostly cloudy tomorrow.
