In a cross‐over study of 15 male and 15 female young adults, we used a dual stable isotope method with 42Ca‐labeled genetically‐modified (sCAX1) and control carrots and intravenous 46Ca to determine the absorption of calcium from these carrots in humans. Subjects also consumed 48Ca‐labeled milk for comparison. Calcium absorption efficiency was … Show more
