Abstract
As one segment of a series of metabolic studies with 36 healthy preadolescent girls, the iron content of the diets and feces was determined. Iron absorption was not significantly influenced by protein, riboflavin or niacin content of the diet; however, in one study iron absorption was significantly increased when the daily protein intake was reduced by removal of all milk from the diet. A dietary allowance of at least 12 mg of iron/day is advocated for 7- to 9-year-old girls.Keywords
