Around a quarter of the world's population is affected by iron deficiency, particularly women of childbearing age, children, and adolescents. This reference book delves into the latest scientific findings regarding the iron supply of the human organism through natural foods. It challenges the notion that plant iron is less valuable than animal iron by presenting a newly discovered metabolic pathway for iron absorption from plant sources. This groundbreaking information offers valuable insights for vegetarians and vegans, who have traditionally been at risk. Furthermore, the book explores innovative approaches for diagnosing iron deficiency and discusses modern concepts for assessing the bioavailability of iron in food. Additionally, it sheds light on new findings on the biochemistry of iron in brain metabolism, provides detailed descriptions of the reference values established by international professional societies, offers practical advice for specific diets, risk groups, age groups, and cooking recipes with simple iron intake information. The book is designed for nutritionists, medical practitioners, nutrition and food scientists, dieticians, pharmacists, and sports scientists.
