Abstract
A PREVIOUS report1 summarized strontium-90 data obtained on ten young adult volunteers studied on a metabolic ward on a constant diet containing approximately 1.1 g of calcium and 13.4 µµC. strontium-90 a day, most of the calcium and strontium-90 being ingested with milk. This communication compares some of the results obtained in a later examination of ten young adults of a similar group on the same diet without the added milk. The average daily intake during 3 periods of 6 days each was 179 mg calcium and 3.3 µµC. strontium-90.
