IN an important contribution on a subject of public interest, the Advisory Committee on Nutrition, in a, memorandum published by the Ministry of Health, records that Cows' milk is a valuable food for the promotion of health and growth in children, The milk requirements of expectant and nursing mothers are of a similar order to those of the growing child.
The best means of assuring a sufficiency of calcium is by including an adequate amount of milk in the diet.
One to two pints daily is recommended for children, about two pints for expectant and nursing mothers, and as part of the ordinary diet for a child a minimum of half-a-pint daily is desirable.
It is emphasised that the milk must be from perfectly healthy cows and must be rendered safe by pasteurization.
