The calcium concentration in bovine milk is about 1 g/l(Table 1). Dairy products provide more than half of the calcium in the typical American diet , and daily intake
of milk and milk products thus has a central role in securing calcium intake. In human nutrition adequate calcium intake is essential. Getting enough calcium in the diet
gives healthy bones and teeth, and it may also help prevent hypertension, decrease the odds of getting colon or breast cancer, improve weight control and reduce the risk
of developing kidney stones.
