I moved a recently added paragraph to the top of the article, because it seemed somewhat out-of-place where it was. We need citations for the claims that iron fortification is considered unethical by "many doctors" (see WP:Weasel), that most males over 35 suffer from iron overload (and some clarification, e.g. in which population group?), that it is more common and serious than hypoferremia and that excess iron exacerbates many conditions, e.g. myocardial infarct. I also removed the sentence about responsible doctors first testing a patient's blood serum level, as this is not precise enough, and possibly inaccurate: If you have appreciable amounts of iron in your serum, isn't that a bit of a problem in itself? -- Slashme 16:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
At WikiProject Food and Drink I've started the thread Food additives etc. ==> need merging. in hopes that some of the pages:
can be merged/eliminated. I hope that that thread will be a central place to discuss this somewhat messy situation. I'll be adding this comment to each of the articles' Talk pages. -- Hordaland ( talk) 11:50, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
"As early as 1755, pellagra was recognized by doctors as being a niacin deficiency disease." Surely the identity of the specific molecule niacin was not know in 1755! This was a discovery of the 20th century. 107.3.80.227 ( talk) 04:42, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
This seems factually wrong: "Synthetic biology (i.e. addition of probiotic bacteria to foods) "
: synthetic biology has to do with altering the DNA whereas probiotic bacteria can be 100% unaltered and still be beneficial. Foods can fe fortified with naturally occurring ingredients and that option is currently missing from the list. Can an expert confirm & correct?
The following was added by JamesPem in a first version in this dif and again in the version below in this dif. Each time the content has overstated what the sources say...
One factor that limits the benefits of food fortification is that isolated nutrients added back into a processed food that has had many of its nutrients removed, does not always result in the added nutrients being as bioavailable as they would be in the original, whole food. An example is skim milk that has had the fat removed, and then had vitamin A and vitamin D added back. Vitamins A and D are both fat soluble and not water soluble, so a person consuming skim milk in the absence of fats may not be able to absorb enough of these vitamins as one would be able to absorb from drinking whole milk.Phytochemicals such as polyphenols can also impact nutrient absorption.Another example is that only a fraction of fortification iron is absorbed and most of the given dose passes into the lower small intestine and colon. [1] [2] Iron can affect the structural and immunological integrity of the gastrointestinal tract and its microflora, potentially promoting invasion by pathogenic enteric bacteria as well as increased gastrointestinal inflammation.

Above all, it becomes clear that oral iron administration changes the gut microbiota profile on several fronts. Although the effects appear to be variable among studies, together they point at a shift towards a potentially pathogenic profile. The clinical relevance of these effects is not fully clear yet, but it is highly recommended that potentially pathogenic effects on the gut microbiota need to be avoided as much as possible.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Food fortification. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Food fortification/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
The article is still a bit unstructured, and needs more information and sources on some types of fortification. It is not a stub anymore, but no better than start class. |

"Retinol, the active form of Vitamin A, is toxic in a much lower dose than other forms, such as beta carotene" - Beta carotene is a precursor to vitamin A - it's something your body uses to make vitamin A. It is not another form of Vitamin A, in the sense that calcium citrate and calcium carbonate can be considered two different forms of sources of calcium. 76.65.24.170 ( talk) 01:25, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
