After a period of illness, Hopkins published work he undertook in 1906–1907, which showed that mice could not survive on a purified diet without milk. Hopkins postulated the existence of what he called “accessory factors” in foods that were necessary for life (121). In studies with eggs and butter, Elmer McCollum (1879–1967), a biochemist at the University of Wisconsin, noted that their data “supports the belief that there are certain accessory articles in certain food-stuffs which are essential for normal growth for extended periods” (122).
The value of milk was emphasized by the report, and a study showed that provision of supplemental milk each day had better weight and height gain than those who were not supplemented (163). By 1945, about 40% of the school population was taking school meals and 46% were drinking school milk (161). An association between low socioeconomic level and inadequate diet was known in France (51) and England (164). In A Study of the Diet of the Labouring Classes in Edinburgh (1901), D. Noël Paton and his colleagues showed that many workers did not have the income to obtain a sufficient supply of food and lacked the education to make correct choices of food (165).
