Shake your soymilk like a Polaroid picture

So goes the new warning to lactards (myself included) and vegans who depend on soymilk/ricemilk for calcium. The calcium put into these fortified beverages is insoluble and a study published in Nutrition Today found that 85% sinks to the bottom! It seems to be most problematic with non-refrigerated cartons. Also, the commonly added tricalcium phosphate is less absorbable than calcium carbonate [USA Today]
