Description The effect of feeding common salt enriched with
calcium sulphate along with rice dIet to school children
for a period of 5 months has been investigated. It has
been observed that the children fed with enriched salt
put on more weight and height, and exhibit a slight
improvement in their nutritional status as compared
with children receiving ordinary salt. Calcium balance
studies carried out by feeding 20 g. of the enriched
salt, contributing 350 mg. of calcium per day to the
diet of the children, have shown that enriched salt
induced an average dally retention of nearly 130 mg.
calcium per day in excess of that retained by the control
group of children.
