The effect of fiber on the absorption of food iron was examined by performing multiple radioiron absorption tests in normal male and female subjects. In an initial study, the authors added bran, pectin, or cellulose to muffins prepared with wheat flour. Because of the low values obtained in this study, another study was done in which apple juice containing 50 mg of ascorbic acid was added to the meal to increase iron absorption. When the two sets of data were pooled, mean absorption averaged 2.26% from plain muffins, 1.07% from bran muffins, 1.89% from pectin muffins, and 2.26% from cellulose muffins. Only the effect of bran was statistically significant. The authors next designed two complex meals which differed maximally in their content of naturally occurring fiber but which were matched with respect to macronutrient, mineral, iron, and ascorbic acid contents. Mean absorptions from the low- and high-fiber meals were significantly different, averaging 6.07% and 2.96%, respectively. These results demonstrate that inhibition of iron absorption is not a universal property of all fiber sources. Moreover, the relatively modest effect of maximally altering the natural fiber conte

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
