...keeps the doctor away
A group of researchers from the Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute and Wageningen University in the Netherlands, looked into the low rate of growth of healthy infants in rural Ethiopia and concluded after extensive nutrition trials that growth rates can be improved by combating zinc deficiency. The Ethiopian diet does not contain sufficient zinc, or its intake is possibly hindered by the high intake of iron, due to the staple food teff, which is iron retentive.
