title: Strontium in Finnish foods.
abstract: The strontium content of Finnish foods was analyzed and the average daily intake of strontium estimated according to national food consumption statistics. The average intake was 1.9 mg of Sr/d/person, which is well within the range of intakes found in other industrialized countries. The most important sources were dairy products (35%), and vegetables and fruits (32%). The strontium contents of foods showed a highly significant correlation with their calcium contents. No special problem was evident in dietary strontium in Finland.
