Abstract
The daily intakes of iron and copper in food and milk were 6.6 to 13.6 mg, with an average of 9.6, and 6.5 to 13.0 with an average of 8.1 mg, respectively. There were no consistent increases in the excretion of iron and copper when the intakes increased. In all instances the total excretion of iron exceeded that of copper. However, increased intakes of both iron and copper usually resulted in increased retentions of each. All of the 17 young college women on self-selected diets were in positive iron and copper balance.Keywords
