Impacts of people at-risk of either cow milk allergies or lactose intolerance on their daily calcium intake and bone mineral density.

Background: People who are at risk of either cow milk allergies or lactose intolerance may need to avoid consuming milk and milk products, which are well-known abundant sources of calcium (Ca). This limitation in calcium intake could affect bone health. Currently, there is limited knowledge on the impact of avoiding the consumption of milk and milk products on the daily Ca intake and bone mineral density (BMD) of people at risk of cow milk allergies.
