Abstract
A woman whose diet was superior in quality and, in addition, was fortified with 2 quarts of cow's milk daily to which 300 units of a vitamin D concentrate of cod liver oil were incorporated, was unable to secrete a breast milk that was sufficiently enriched with vitamin D to heal rickets in three colored breast-fed infants or in experimental rachitic rats. Her own breast-fed baby, however, showed no signs of rickets throughout the investigation.Keywords
