TL;DR: The daily dietary silicon intake of adults in Belgium has been evaluated by duplicate portion sampling, the samples were heated in a microwave oven and atomic absorption spectrometric determination of the element was carried out.
Abstract: For the first time, the daily dietary silicon intake of adults in Belgium has been evaluated by duplicate portion sampling, the samples were heated in a microwave oven and atomic absorption spectrometric determination of the element was carried out. The mean intake value of adults (18.6±8.5 mg/day) is similar to the few data found in the literature. Since the silicon requirement of humans and animals is still unknown, no comparison could be made with recommended daily allowance values.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the vitamin and mineral intake of ultra-endurance athletes in their regular diet, in addition to oral vitamins and mineral supplements, and found that over 60% of the athletes reported using vitamin supplements, of which vitamin C (97.5%), vitamin E (78.3%), and multivitamins (52.2%) were the most commonly used supplements.
Abstract: Ultraendurance exercise training places large energy demands on athletes and causes a high turnover of vitamins through sweat losses, metabolism, and the musculoskeletal repair process. Ultraendurance athletes may not consume sufficient quantities or quality of food in their diet to meet these needs. Consequently, they may use oral vitamin and mineral supplements to maintain their health and performance. We assessed the vitamin and mineral intake of ultraendurance athletes in their regular diet, in addition to oral vitamin and mineral supplements. Thirty-seven ultraendurance triathletes (24 men and 13 women) completed a 7-day nutrition diary including a questionnaire to determine nutrition adequacy and supplement intake. Compared with dietary reference intakes for the general population, both male and female triathletes met or exceeded all except for vitamin D. In addition, female athletes consumed slightly less than the recommended daily intake for folate and potassium; however, the difference was trivial. Over 60% of the athletes reported using vitamin supplements, of which vitamin C (97.5%), vitamin E (78.3%), and multivitamins (52.2%) were the most commonly used supplements. Almost half (47.8%) the athletes who used supplements did so to prevent or reduce cold symptoms. Only 1 athlete used supplements on formal medical advice. Vitamin C and E supplementation was common in ultraendurance triathletes, despite no evidence of dietary deficiency in these 2 vitamins.

TL;DR: Modeling of mothers' intake might be more effective in influencing young children's intake of certain foods, whereas other strategies, such as encouraging parents to influence food availability, may be more useful for some foods.

TL;DR: In this article, the average value of iron concentration was measured using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) and food samples were collected from major cities/districts of Pakistan using market basket method.
Abstract: Purpose – Iron deficiency is the number one nutritional disorder in the world and is quite common in Pakistan. Iron deficiency anaemia may result from a low dietary intake, inadequate intestinal absorption, excessive blood loss, and/or increased needs. While iron overload is also responsible of number of diseases. The normal iron status of our body is usually maintained by controlling amount of iron absorbed from food. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for adult male and female in the age from 19 to 50 years is 8 and 18mg, respectively. While RDA above 50 years is it for both genders i.e. 8mg (NIH, 2002). Nutritional status of dietary iron was estimated to combat the iron related diseases in Pakistani population.Design/methodology/approach – Food samples were collected from major cities/districts of the country using market basket method. Daily diets were prepared and analyzed for iron contents using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS).Findings – An average value of iron concentration was measured to...
