African-American Women's Diets Lack Calcium.
2001 JUN 14- (NewsRx Network) -- A recent survey uncovered new facts about the lack of calcium in African-American women's diets.
The survey was conducted to learn more about the attitudes and behavior of African-American women aged 25 to 55 toward milk and milk products.
According to the survey, African-American women do not always include milk or milk products in their diet. Only 58% of those polled claimed they drink or eat milk and milk products. The remaining 42% said they either didn't drink or eat them at all or only rarely.
Ninety-six percent of African-American women claimed they drink two or fewer glasses of milk a day. This is well below the three 8 oz. servings of milk recommended each day for suggested calcium intake.
While most African-American women believe they are lactose intolerant, of the women polled only 29% could define lactose intolerance. The other 71% claimed to understand lactose intolerance and its effects "somewhat or not very well at all."
