Answer
The calcium in dairy products and other foods is not impacted by cooking, and neither is vitamin D, a nutrient added to dairy products that enhances calcium’s absorption. Oxalic acid found in dark leafy greens, rhubarb, soy and cocoa, and phosphoric acid in dark sodas, can decrease calcium absorption a bit. Calcium is best absorbed from dairy products.
