Calcium In, Lead Out
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Did you
know that the calcium found in
milk not only helps build strong
bones and teeth, but can also help
prevent lead absorption?
If you said no, you’re not
alone. Spreading that important
message to consumers is why
AD ADC teamed up with a num
ber of health organizations re
cently.
Lead poisoning is a major
health problem in America,
which affects an estimated four
million children. Subtle lead in
toxication is associated with de
creased academic achievement;
increased school dropout rates;
decreased attention spans, and
anti-social, even aggressive be
haviors.
In fact, one in two Newark,
N.J. children (43,000) have high
blood lead levels. Surveys show
40 percent of these children do
not meet their calcium needs.
ADADC partnered with the Uni
versity of Medicine and Dentistry
of New Jersey to launch “Calci
um In. Lead Out.,” a multifacet
ed campaign that includes ongo
ing research, community
outreach, and media publicity.
