Oxalates and phytates, found in certain foods such as spinach and whole grains, can bind to calcium and decrease its absorption. Saturated fats and trans-fats, as well as trace minerals and preservatives, do not have a significant impact on calcium absorption. Most herbs and food coloring agents also do not affect calcium absorption.
