What’s That? More Nutrients of Concern?

 

Good morning Usman! Remember the Dietary Guidelines Nutrients of Concern series we wrote? It turns out that - in addition to calcium, dietary fiber potassium, and vitamin D, which are of concern for almost all Americans - there are additional nutrients of concern for specific groups. Today we're going to tackle those 3 nutrients. You can find all the details about folate and iron in the post Nutrients of Concern: Folate and Iron and you can see everything you need to know about vitamin B12 in the member-exclusive article Nutrients of Concern: Vitamin B12. Both posts discuss what each nutrient is, its role in the body, what foods include it, which population groups don't get enough of it, and what happens when you eat too little of it. Each post also comes with a brand-new handout that features the most important information about each nutrient. I hope this makes your Monday a little more fun!
