Note that we want only enough information to convincingly support the assertion and counter inaccurate information. When making a point, it is important to find those sources that will result in the most convincing arguments, and to summarize findings in the most convincing manner, all without misrepresenting or exaggerating those sources.
Places to start for research:
Is there research showing that vegans are generally not deficient in calcium, or that non-vegans are?

Fact Sheet
Assertion
- This fact sheet supports the assertion that calcium from animal sources is not necessary and may be harmful to health.
Context
- Because milk and other dairy products contain calcium, Americans have been encouraged for decades to consume dairy as a way to strengthen their bones and fight against issues like osteoporosis.
- To reach the daily recommended amount of calcium, a person would have to consume large amounts of dairy, calcium-fortified foods, or supplements. However, due to dairy’s links to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other conditions, animal-derived calcium sources like dairy can cause plenty of health problems that non-animal sources do not.
- According to a study from the China Health and Nutrition Survey, a plant-based diet may be associated with a lower calcium requirement for bone health.
Research
- <-- research supporting the assertion -->
Conflicting Information
- <-- if there are articles or research that contradicts the assertion, state them and their weaknesses. -->
Other Sources
- <-- expert testimony from prestigious or credentialed people or organizations -->
