Folic Acid Content of Cow's Milk

J. LAWRENCE NAIMAN M.D. and FRANK A. OSKI M.D.

In the report of the Committee on Nutrition concerning the nutritional adequacy of cow's milk substitutes (Pediatrics, 31:329, 1963) we noted that the folic acid content of cow's milk was stated to be 2.2 µg per quart.

This figure was obtained by microbiologic assay with Streptococcus fecalis1; no added ascorbic acid was used in the incubation medium to protect labile folates from oxidative destruction.
