Appearing in the journal Pediatrics, the report drew its conclusions from previously

23、published studies and was written by researchers from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which advocates a strict vegetarian diet. Some earlier studies that extoled dairy products as a calcium source had been funded at least in part by the dairy industry. The U. S. government has gra

26、broccoli, the report said. Several of the studies, which examined such factors as bone density and rate of fractures, concluded that exercise may be more important than increased calcium consumption in developing strong bones. Data was scarce on the effect of calcium intake for children younger than

27、 7 years old, the report said. Dairy products provide 18 percent of the total energy and 25 percent of the total fat intake in the diets of American children, who are developing increasing rates of obesity, it said. In an editorial in the journal commenting on the report, Frank Greer, a pediatrician
