1.7:1 Ideal Ca/P Ratio?

It maximizes mineral retention in premature infants.

Some context: While Peat recommends consuming more calcium than phosphorus, he also mentions that the ideal ratio is not known.

Does someone know what's the Ca/P ratio in human milk?

So, cow milk has lower Ca/P ratio and less copper.

Devilish drink

if you wanted to massively p romote bone growth then yea that's probably ideal, but aas long as its 1:1 you'll still be on the positive growth promoting end of things. Its very hard to have that high a ratio from diet alone without using a lot of greens, spices, supplementing with shells, or eating figs and papaya and olives as the bulk of your diet. Its for sure a good thing if you can manage to do it though

Parmesan has a 1.7:1 ratio.

I think human milk varies a bit in its ratio.
