Efficacy of fortification of cow's milk as a dietary strategy to increase dietary vitamin D intakes

The aim of this study was to use population level dietary data to simulate how fortified cow's milk could contribute to total dietary vitamin D intake using a dietary modelling approach. [...]the simulated fortification of whole milk showed the greatest increase in total vitamin D intake. While...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to use population level dietary data to simulate how fortified cow's milk could contribute to total dietary vitamin D intake using a dietary modelling approach. [...]the simulated fortification of whole milk showed the greatest increase in total vitamin D intake. While this study has focused solely on the effect of vitamin D fortification of cow's milk, more research is needed to investigate the impact of such fortification on the vitamin D content of other dairy products and their contributions to consumer's dietary vitamin D intakes. 1.
