From the Departments of Pediatrics, Newington Children's Hospital, Newington, Connecticut and the University of Connecticut Health Center. Farmington, Connecticut. Vitamin D deficient rickets occurred in a 15-month-old black girl for whom yogurt had been substituted for milk products. Investigation determined that commercially available yogurt contains no vitamin D, and that this fact is not generally recognized by lay persons and health professionals. Use of yogurt as a major source of nutritional intake in infants and young children may be a contributory factor in development of vitamin D deficiency rickets.
