Abstract
1. The first part of this study was designed to determine the increase in the amount of iron absorbed by hypothetical groups of subjects on the border-line of Fe deficiency when they were given meals fortified with ferrous sulphate. Two levels of Fe fortification were used (1.6 and 8.9 mg/meal) and the increase in the amount of Fe absorbed by the groups was 0.13 and 0.7 mg respectively.Keywords
