I read the following today in a Parent newspaper, and thought it might be of
interest:
"New calcium intake guidelines say that children from ages 1 to 3 years need
500 milligrams (mg) a day; ages 4 to 8 years need 800 mg per day; and ages 9
to 18 need 1300 mg per day.
(USDA Children's Nutrition Research Center in Baylor College of medicine in
Houston, Texas.)"
