NEDCO to market calcium-fortified milk products
Milk. Calcium enrichment is
achieved, McCormac said, by
removing milk fats using standard
industry methods and by adding
naturally occurring milk minerals
isolated by a new process, patents
pending, developed by IGI
Biotechnology, Inc., Columbia.
“Our purpose,” Mr. McCormac
said, “was to provide commercial
bakers and other food manufac
turers with a 100% natural product
that can be easily incorporated
into breads, cookies, cakes, soups;
yogurts, puddings, frozen desserts,

Adding gypsum, ground up

crease the calcium content of food
products,” McCormac added, “but
they certainly don’t do very much

minerals made much more sense
to us as a calcium supplement.
Interest in dietary calcium
supplements stems from in
creasing awareness on the part of
doctors and public health
professionals of the relationship
between long-term low calcium
intake and a number of age-related
conditions, especially in women.
These include osteoporosis, a
thinning of the bones that results in
an increased incidence of fractures
and may lead to compression of the
spine causing back pain; and

periodontal disease, an in
flammation of the tissue
surrounding teeth. In addition, a
recent study of data from the
Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey of the National Center for
Health Statistics suggests that
significant decreases in the con
sumption of calcium are also
importantly related to hyper
tension of high blood pressure.
Much controversy surrounds the
current recommended dietary
allowance (RDA) of 800
milligrams of calcium a day from
the age of one year through old age
and the RDA of 1,200 milligrams a
day for adolescents, whose bones
are rapidly growing Most
researchers believe, however, that
women past 35 or 40 need 1,000 to
1,500 milligrams of calcium daily
to maintain a balance between
dietary calcium intake and
calcium excretion This
requirement is clearly greater
than the less than 600 milligrams a
day of calcium found by the U.S.
Public Health Service to be the
average intake of American
women after age 35
One-quarter cup or ap
proximately 28 grams of NEDCO's
calcium-enriched milk powder
contains slightly more than 800
milligrams of calcium, 600
milligrams of phosphorus and 125
milligrams of magnesium “That
represents," McCormac said,
"100% of the current RDA for
calcium, 77% of the RDA for
phosphorus and 42% of the RDA for
magnesium "
"We’re clearly not in a position,"
McCormac said, "to make
judgments as to how much
calcium-enriched nonfat dry milk
should be put into any specific food
product. What we have done, quite
simply, is to develop a new milk
product that is low in calories, low
in cholesterol and fats, low in
sodium and high in calcium and
can be sold at the same price as
conventional nonfat dry milk We
think that food manufacturers and
homemakers, particularly women,
will be very pleased ”
