Bone Health in Children

By Steven A. Abrams and Keli M Hawthorne

Book Overview

This volume explores recent research, debunks popular myths, and clarifies the often confusing and contradictory scientific literature. Topics include the Institute of Medicine process by which Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are developed; iron, calcium, and vitamin D requirements for infants, children, and pregnant and lactating women; and the scientific research process related to human nutrition. The book also examines the nonbone health aspects of vitamin D and why literature claims about this topic can be misleading. Frequently Asked Questions regarding nutrition with answers are provided in short format.
