Abstract

Milk has been suggested to increase zinc absorption. 皇冠体育app effect of processing and the ability of milk to enhance zinc absorption from other foods has not been measured directly in humans. 皇冠体育app authors aimed to assess zinc absorption from:

  1. milk undergoing various processing and preparatory steps

  2. intrinsically labeled high-phytate rice consumed with milk or water.

Two randomised crossover studies were conducted in healthy young women.

This work is an output of the HarvestPlus Programme. 皇冠体育app Department for International Development is one of the main donors for HarvestPlus.
