Calcium
COLUMBUS, Ohio The
American Dairy Association and
Dairy Council Mid East will
launch a revised and updated ver
sion of their web site to help 9- to
14-year-olds combat the growing
calcium crisis.
While nearly half of adult bone
mass is formed during adolescent
years, nine out of 10 girls and
seven out of 10 boys are not meet
ing their daily calcium quota. Cal
cium, found in milk and milk
group foods, is the primary nutri
ent that helps bones grow long and
strong.
“Adolescent boys and girls
drink about three times as much
soda as milk in a day. As a result,
most are coming up alarmingly
short on calcium,” said Ann Marie
Krautheim, RD, LD, director of
nutrition communication and pro
grams for ADADC Mid East
“Tracking data indicates that
many individuals are visiting this
site daily and spending a signifi
cant amount of time learning
about the benefits of milk’s cal
cium.”
“No Bones About It . . .
Drink Milk for Calcium,” found
at www.drink-milk.com, includes
Winners

Web Site
four interactive activities that
teach kids about the importance of
meeting their need for calcium
rich foods. These activities enable
kids to evaluate their fitness level
and the amount of calcium they
are contributing to their “bone
bank” and identify their individual
“food personality.” Kids can also
find calcium rich food ideas to
satisfy after school “snack at
tacks.” New games and additional
recipes will be added in through
out the next several months.
Research shows that kids cite'
teachers, health professionals and
parents as primary sources for nu
trition information. As a result, the
site provides teachers with a les
son plan that may be downloaded
and used in the classroom.
The lesson plan, entitled “Break
Fast for Breakfast,” can be used in
the classroom along with activities
on the web site, or the lesson plan
can be modified if the Internet is
not accessible to students. Health
professionals may download pa
tient education materials to help
educate parents and teens about
the growing calcium crisis and
provide strategies for meeting
their calcium quota.
