| Popis: | The chromium content of human breast milk, infant formulae, cow's milk and beikost was measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry following different digestion steps. No significant variation in chromium concentration during lactation was found. The mean concentration was 0.18 ng/ml. The daily chromium intake for Belgian infants of 3 months of age using different types of food was estimated. Exclusively breast fed infants consumed 0.1 microgram/day, while for infants fed cow's milk the intake was five times higher. The exclusive use of commercial infant formulas resulted in an intake of 2 up to 10 micrograms chromium a day. |
