Summary
editAmy Louise Daniels was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, on July 26th 1875. In 1903 she graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which primarily accepted only boys. After graduating, she moved to Colorado where she was a high school teacher. She acquired her Bachelor's degree at Columbia University in 1906. In 1912 she became the first woman to receive a PhD from Yale in biological chemistry. Dr. Daniels was an assistant professor at the University of Missouri from 1911 to 1914 and at the University of Wisconsin from 1914 until 1918. She was recruited to the State University of Iowa by Dr. Bird Thomas Baldwin. Dr. Daniels retired in 1941 after 23 years of being a professor of nutrition at the Iowa Welfare Research Station. For her research paper, “Relation of Ingestion of Milk to Calcium Metabolism in Children” she was the first to receive the Borden Award in 1937 from the American Home Economics Association. Between 1914-1948 she wrote more than 50 research papers. Dr. Amy Louise Daniels died on January 31, 1965, at age 89.[1][2]
Research
editAmy Louise Daniels mainly researched the impact of nutrition on curing children’s illnesses. Dr. Daniels also researched the effects of diet and nutrition on the larger population. Dr. Daniels research largely promoted the idea of balancing various types of food in addition to eating a set amount of calories determined by exercise levels and size of the individual. Dr. Daniels concluded that people who exercise more require larger amounts of calories in order to maintain weight and that people who exercise less require fewer calories to maintain weight. Furthermore, she also concluded that larger people needed more calories to maintain their size. Another important research topic she studied was how certain minerals and vitamins interacted with children’s bodies. Dr. Daniels focused on this to demonstrate vitamin D's effects on the retention rates of calcium and phosphorous within children’s bodies. Dr. Daniels also delved into the magnesium requirements of young children, the effect of minerals, vitamins, and proteins on the growth of infants, and the nutritional values of certain foods (leading to her discovery of the nutritional deficiencies of milk).[3]
