consumption of the recommended intake of fibre-rich wheat bread.

BACKGROUND. Fibrerich bread and cereals are included in the recommendations
of
a healthy diet. OBJECTIVE. To measure the effects of long-term consumption of
the recommended intake of fibre-rich wheat bread on the iron status of young
healthy women with adequate iron stores. DESIGN. Four-months intervention
study
including healthy female subjects assigned into two groups provided daily
with
300 g of fibre-rich wheat bread, prepared with or without phytase as a
supplement to their habitual diet. SUBJECTS. Forty-one women aged 24.8 +/-
3.8
years (mean +/- SD) and an average BMI of 22.0 +/- 2.9 kg/m2 participated.
Baseline values for serum ferritin were 45 micro g/L, 22-83 (geometric mean,
range) and for haemoglobin 132 g/L, 119-148 (arithmetic mean, range),
respectively. RESULTS. Distribution of energy intake from protein, fat and
carbohydrate, and daily intake of dietary fibre and iron were similar in the
two groups and within the recommended levels. There was no effect of the
phytase added to the wheat bread on the iron status of the subjects, but an
effect of the intervention period. Serum ferritin and haemoglobin levels were
significantly reduced by 12 +/- 1.1 micro g/L (27%) ( P < 0.001) and 2 +/-
0.8
g/l (1.5%) (mean +/- SE) ( P < 0.05) respectively, after four months of
intervention. CONCLUSIONS. The present long-term study indicates that
consumption of the recommended daily intake of fibre-rich wheat bread results
in an impairment of iron status in women with initially sufficient iron
stores.
Reduction of the phytic acid concentration in the bread was not sufficient to
maintain iron status.

Started to having conversations with yourself have you, hmmm.

Young women are at higher risk from the health disorders associated with
low iron stores. This is the world's number one nutrition problem.

It is called .. 'adding to MY thread' ..

Look both studies are about .. lowering iron .. stores ..

Look the header states .. 'lowering iron stores by diet' ..

I wonder ..if .. the thread is about .. 'lowering iron stores by diet ' ..?
