Low calcium intake may affect bone density in youngsters with cows milk allergy

Young kids with persistent cow’s milk allergy have lower bone mineral density scores than children without the condition, which researchers believe is related to a lower calcium intake. According to the researchers, from the Department of Nutrition and Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine Research Center, Université de Montréal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, recent data suggest that cow's milk allergy (CMA) has become more persistent, prolonging treatment via strict elimination of cow's milk products into a period of skeletal growth.
