Area of Science:

  • Nutritional science and human health
  • Food science and analysis
  • Pediatric nutrition

Background:

  • Knowledge gaps persist regarding the nutritional roles, requirements, and health impacts of minerals and trace elements.
  • Variations in reported trace element values in literature are often due to analytical challenges.
  • Cow's milk and dairy products are significant dietary sources of several key minerals and trace elements in Western diets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current understanding of mineral and trace element content in human and cow's milk.
  • To assess the contribution of milk and milk products to dietary intake of essential minerals and trace elements.
  • To identify areas needing further research in mineral and trace element nutrition.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Literature review of scientific publications on mineral and trace element content in milk and infant formulas.
  • Analysis of data on dietary intake and health implications of selected minerals and trace elements.
  • Comparison of mineral and trace element concentrations in human milk, cow's milk, and infant formulas.

    • Main Results:

    • Reliable data exists for most minerals and trace elements in human and cow's milk, though some trace elements show variability.
    • Cow's milk significantly contributes to sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and iodine intake in Western diets.
    • Breast milk generally meets infant needs, with exceptions for fluoride and selenium in specific regions; infant formulas are typically fortified.

    Conclusions:

    • While understanding of mineral and trace element nutrition has advanced, significant knowledge gaps remain.
    • Milk and dairy products play a crucial role in mineral and trace element supply, with ongoing monitoring needed for iodine.
    • Infant formulas are increasingly adjusted based on updated knowledge of infant requirements for minerals and trace elements.
