Page 1 of the January 2003 issue of Tufts University Health & Nutrition
Letter (www.healthletter.tufts.edu), from the table at the bottom (article
on getting your calcium by drinking mineral water):
"Milligrams of calcium per liter* "
" *If a liter of water sounds like a lot, remember that glasses throughout
the day can add up."
No effort to translate liter into "cups" anywhere in the article.
This is the first pure metric reference to amounts of food I've seen in the
newsletter. Of course, nutrients are always in milligrams and such, but
body mass and amounts of food have always been shown in pounds, cups, etc.
I don't know if it is part of a trend for the editors, but one can hope.
