It hardly bears mentioning that calcium is essential for strong and healthy bones. However, new research conducted at North Carolina State University shows that denying infants sufficient calcium intake could have a more far-reaching and lifelong impact on bone health, and perhaps even lead to obesity in later life, than previously thought.

Dr. Chad Stahl, an associate professor of animal science who led the study, believes the research holds relevance for the infant food industry and underscores the significance of the nutritional health of breastfeeding mothers.
