Mother-and-child zinc
Mothers-to-be should be encouraged to eat zinc-enriched rice according to a report published in June 2001 after a workshop of the University in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Including zinc in pregnant women s diets improves the resistance of the babies against infection after birth, and using enhanced rice, known as one of the new wave of functional foods (see Publications), is a simple method. The meeting emphasised that this is preferable to zinc supplements in the diets of new-born babies they do not make the necessary enzymes to make zinc work.
