Oxalates and phytates can form insoluble complexes with calcium, making it difficult for the body to absorb calcium from the food. Saturated fats and trans-fats do not affect calcium absorption. Trace minerals and preservatives do not have an impact on calcium absorption either. Similarly, most herbs and food coloring agents do not affect calcium absorption.
