Nine healthy adult men consumed each of the three dietary Ca intakes for 21 days in a 63 day balance study. The three day rotating menu of conventional foods included two muffins each meal that contained 31g of wheat bran and 0,500 or 1,000 mg of CaCO{sub 3}, depending upon the Ca intake. The mean daily intake of phytic acid, Mg and Zn was 1.8g, 470 mg and 13.1 mg, respectively. Calculated insoluble mineral tended to parallel changes in fecal excretion of Ca and Mg. The correlations of soluble mineral and urinary Ca and Zn were 0.543 and 0.944, respectively. Solubility of Ca, Mg and Zn in an in vitro system may provide a suitable indication of the response of humans to diets with food matrices similar to that used in this study.
