Thought you would like to know about an article just released in today's
issue of New England Journal of Medicine, called: Rickets Today -- Children
Still Need Milk and Sunshine.  One of the paragraphs reads as follows:
 Rickets remains a major health problem in many developing countries and
among immigrants in developed
          countries. Affected children typically present at the age of 18
months with delayed motor development, hypotonia,
          and short stature, and they have knock knees or bowed legs. The
causes usually are inadequate exposure to
          sunlight because the children are clothed and kept indoors and
prolonged breast-feeding without vitamin D
          supplementation.
The full article can be found at:
