I've seen a few references in this thread and previous ones about avoiding milk being good for the voice.

Although I like milk, I'd be happy to not drink milk at all if it would benefit my voice, except that I understood it was important to have the calcium in milk. What do people recommend as an alternative source of calcium, if you avoid milk?(lumps of chalk perhaps? :-))

Orr is it bollocks, and you don't really need the calcium? Any nutritionists out there?
