title: Calcium requirements and the diets of women and children. A review of dairy resources.
abstract: This review concerns the role of calcium in nutrition and health and its relation to the changing American diet. The ideal dietary calcium intakes for women and children represent the United States Department of Agriculture's most recent recommended dietary allowances. Both calcium and total nutrient composition of cow, goat and human milk differ. Goat milk has special utility in the treatment of childhood allergy.
