Topic: Vitamin D is a particularly important nutrient for children.

Fact 1: “Recent case reports highlight the resurgence of rickets in certain groups of breastfed infants. Infants residing in the North, irrespective of skin color, and dark-skinned African American infants residing anywhere in the United States are most vulnerable to nutritional rickets if they are exclusively breastfed past age 6 months without vitamin D supplementation.”

Fact 2: In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics doubled the daily recommended intake of Vitamin D to 400 iu because of ongoing cases of rickets caused by Vitamin D deficiency and because “new evidence supports a potential role for vitamin D in maintaining innate immunity and preventing diseases such as diabetes and cancer.”

Fact 4: Only 5% to 37% of infants meet the 2008 recommendation, with breastfed infants at the lower end of the range.
