Iron fortification at large level may not be cost efficient strategy. Sickle cell / Thalassemia children may not benefit and can have iron toxicity. Some studies suggest in children high ferritin level can led to Diabetes. Seeing side effects should cost. conflict of interest etc should be explored before implementation.
Forget about any diseased conditions, in normal conditions iron overload may be toxic with noteworthy adverse effects. Copper also is toxic in high doses. Zinc in lower dose helps in normal compartmentalization of iron, even zinc may be antioxidant or preoxidant depending on its dose.This researcher had done extensive study of mineral metabolism and zinc supplementation in tuberculosis. His published Papers in these repects may please be gone through.
Respected Dr Arora, you have asked very relevent but well neglected topic concerning mineral metabolism. Thank you for recommending my previous answer. I had reported the double sword effects of different mineral metabolisms in tuberculosis. I request your perusal to go through my concerned papers on tuberculosis and to convey your erudite criticism. With thanks
