Fomon S. 1995. Iron Absorption in Infants [Final report]. Iowa City, IA: University of Iowa, 15 plus 28 pp. appendix pp.

Annotation: The research team studied absorption of iron from carefully selected iron-fortified foods that are now commercially available or are attractive candidates for future iron fortification. Because of possible adverse interactions with zinc and copper when intakes of iron are high, and because excessive intakes of iron may favor growth of pathogenic organisms in the gastrointestinal tract, the research team determined whether iron absorption (mg/day) is appreciably greater from a formula fortified at 12 mg Fe/liter than from a similar formula fortified at 8 mg Fe/liter. The bioavailability of cereal fortified with ferrous fumarate, a promising iron salt for cereal fortification was also determined. The research team studied absorption of iron from strained beef with vegetables fortified with ferrous sulfate. Absorption of heme iron from a heme iron-fortified strained beef with vegetables was also analyzed. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
