Apricot kernals

Mean urine and fecal losses of calcium of subjects while receiving the three test fats are shown on Table II. Apparent calcium absorptions and calcium balances were calculated from this data. Mean fecal calcium losses when safflower oil, soybean oil and apricot kernal oil were fed were 460, 500 and 520 mg/day. With a probability of only P<0.10, these difference were not statistically significant although a strong trend toward increased fecal calcium losses with degree of saturatedness of the dietary fat was shown. Thus, a trend toward increase in calcium absorption with more polyunsaturated fats was illustrated. Coupled with changes in...
