Abstract
The use of medicines is associated with both therapeutic and adverse effects and interactions. In particular, interactions between drugs and food are common, and can either enhance the action of drugs or diminish their effect. Health professionals have a responsibility to screen for and educate patients about food-drug interactions, as well as to assist in decreasing their occurrence. The aim of this study was to identify any interactions present between food and selected over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Sixty-five publications out of a potential 1112 found in the search were included in the study and among them 28 concerned painkillers, 6 - antihistamines, 4 - nasal decongestants, 10 were for proton pump inhibitors and for iron and 8 for sildenafil. Interactions between food and OTC drugs do exist. These drugs should not be taken regardless of the meal. Providing relevant information to the patient will increase drug safety and efficacy.

Abstract
At the behest of UNICEF, conceptual specifications from the International Workshop on Micronutrient Supplementation throughout the Life Cycle (held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in November 1999) were developed for a chewable, flavored multiple-micronutrient vehicle that was a hybrid of a food and a tablet (i.e., “foodLET”). Two varieties of foodLET were created: one with a single infant–toddler RDA for selected micronutrients, and the other with two RDAs for the same vitamins and minerals. They were shipped and stored in special, hermetic blister packs to protect the physical form from crumbling and to protect the vitamins from oxidative damage. In the actual experience of delivering more than 40,000 foodLETs in four sites in diverse settings, the ability of the product to live up to the ideal characteristics can be assessed.

Abstract
In 2001, students and professionals from 13 nations were hosted by UNICEF for the International Workshop on Multi-Micronutrient Deficiency Control in the Life Cycle in Lima, Peru, May 30–June 1, 2001. Workshop participants engaged in both narrow and broad discussions of ways to combat multiple micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries. Preliminary data from four common-protocol studies conducted in Peru, South Africa, Indonesia, and Vietnam were presented. Participants also discussed the immediate, preliminary, and interim issues that could guide both policy and planning of future studies of multiple micronutrient deficiency. Among the studies highlighted was the International Research on Infant Supplementation (IRIS) I trial. A review of IRIS I yielded some confirmation of the efficacy using a crushable “foodlet” (i.e., cross between food and tablet) as a supplementation vehicle, as well as concerns about potential adverse consequences of nutrient-nutrient and nutrient-nutriture interactions. Other plenary topics illustrated the practical matters of how the IRIS I logistics and operations were built, and several focused on how to best design follow-up research on infant supplementation. Finally, a series of working groups allowed for in-depth discussions on the topics of community and policy, monitoring and implementation, and research. Researchers continue to try to identify efficient and effective programs suited to the low-income settings in which infant multi-micronutrient malnutrition occurs. The papers in these proceedings elaborate on several aspects of the IRIS study, and they are published in the hope that their analysis by readers will produce wider dissemination of the details of this devastating problem.

Abstract
We examined the effect of iron-containing prenatal vitamin-mineral supplements taken postpartum on biomarkers of iron status and oxidative stress. Lactating women (n = 114) were randomly assigned to consume daily one iron-free prenatal vitamin-mineral supplement plus either 27 mg of iron or placebo for approximately 3.5 months. The placebo group took the tablets between meals, while those given iron took the tablets either with (Fe-W) or between meals (Fe-B). Blood and urine samples were collected before and after the supplementation period to analyze hemoglobin (Hb), ferritin, hepcidin, transferrin saturation (TfSat), total plasma iron, and biomarkers of oxidative stress (isoprostane and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)) and inflammation (C-reactive protein (CRP) and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP)). There was a trend toward a greater change in Hb among women in the Fe-B group compared to placebo (+2.5 vs. -3.7 g/L, respectively, p = 0.063). When the iron groups were combined, there was a greater change in Hb (+1.4 g/L) compared to placebo (p = 0.010). There were trends toward greater changes in TfSat (p = 0.087) and total plasma iron (p = 0.065) in the iron groups compared to placebo, yet no significant differences between the three groups in change in hepcidin (p = 0.291), isoprostane (p = 0.319), or 8-OHdG (p = 0.659), nor in change in ferritin among those with elevated CRP at baseline (60% of women; p = 0.946); among those without elevated CRP (40% of women), ferritin increased more in the iron groups compared to placebo (p = 0.001). Iron consumption during lactation moderately increased iron status, particularly among women without elevated CRP, and increased Hb, but did not significantly increase oxidative stress.

Abstract
Kiwifruit are a rich source of vitamin C and also contain numerous phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, which may influence the bioavailability of kiwifruit-derived vitamin C. The aim of this study was to compare the relative bioavailability of synthetic versus kiwifruit-derived vitamin C using a randomised cross-over pharmacokinetic study design. Nine non-smoking males (aged 18–35 years) received either a chewable tablet (200 mg vitamin C) or the equivalent dose from gold kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. Sungold). Fasting blood and urine were collected half hourly to hourly over the eight hours following intervention. The ascorbate content of the plasma and urine was determined using HPLC with electrochemical detection. Plasma ascorbate levels increased from 0.5 h after the intervention (P = 0.008). No significant differences in the plasma time-concentration curves were observed between the two interventions (P = 0.645). An estimate of the total increase in plasma ascorbate indicated complete uptake of the ingested vitamin C tablet and kiwifruit-derived vitamin C. There was an increase in urinary ascorbate excretion, relative to urinary creatinine, from two hours post intervention (P < 0.001). There was also a significant difference between the two interventions, with enhanced ascorbate excretion observed in the kiwifruit group (P = 0.016). Urinary excretion was calculated as ~40% and ~50% of the ingested dose from the vitamin C tablet and kiwifruit arms, respectively. Overall, our pharmacokinetic study has shown comparable relative bioavailability of kiwifruit-derived vitamin C and synthetic vitamin C.

Abstract
This study evaluates the impact of a milk-based cornstarch porridge fortified with iron, in 4-year olds, compared with control on hemoglobin levels and anemia prevalence. This trial was a cluster-randomized, double-blind one, and used milk-based cornstarch porridge fortified with 10 mg elemental iron (FeSO(4)), daily, during 14 weeks, compared with control. The study population comprised 4-year-old preschoolers (n = 131). Mean hemoglobin values at baseline were found to be 10.6 ± 0.61 g dl(-1) for intervention group, and after intervention 11.5 ± 0.80 g/dl, p < 0.0001. For control, mean hemoglobin values at baseline were 10.9 ± 0.53 g/dl, and after intervention 11.2 ± 0.73, p < 0.0001. The increase in mean hemoglobin was much greater in the intervention than in the control group, 0.86-0.26 g dl(-1), respectively (p < 0.0001). Anemia prevalence reduced from 75% to 20%, p < 0.0001, in the intervention group, with no reduction in the control group. Number needed for treatment was four. This study showed that milk-based cornstarch porridge fortified with ferrous sulfate increased hemoglobin levels and reduced anemia prevalence in 4-year-old preschoolers.

Abstract
One hundred percent fruit juices can help consumers increase the nutrient content of the diet since these beverages can be naturally rich in micronutrients. Micronutrient-fortified low-calorie beverages are an important alternative to those wishing to minimize their calorie intakes. However, little is known about the bioavailability of nutrients from fortified beverages relative to 100% fruit juices. The present study examined the bioavailability of ascorbic acid (AA) and folic acid (FA) in 100% orange juice (OJ) and a low-calorie beverage fortified with these nutrients. In a within-subjects, cross-over design, 12 adult men consumed a 591 mL serving of OJ, a low-calorie beverage fortified with AA and FA, and 1% low fat milk. Participants were aged 20 to 35 y, with body mass indexes between 20 and 30 kg/m(2). Blood plasma concentrations of AA and serum concentrations of FA were assayed by serial blood draws, made at 30 min intervals for 4.5 h. Blood plasma concentration of AA was significantly greater after ingestion of the fortified beverage compared to after OJ ingestion. However, the bioavailability of AA did not significantly differ from that of OJ. Analyses of FA indicated no significant difference between fortified beverage and OJ. Consumption of both vitamin containing beverages led to higher concentrations of AA and FA than the milk control. This study showed that similar levels of AA and FA bioavailability can be attained through ingestion of 100% OJ and a fortified beverage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Information about the zinc status of low-income minority children in the United States is lacking. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the prevalence of zinc deficiency and anemia and their interrelation among low-income African American and Hispanic preschool children. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study in which a prospective 3-d food diary was completed, and hemoglobin, serum ferritin, zinc, copper, and C-reactive protein concentrations were measured. Children with elevated C-reactive protein concentrations were excluded from analysis. RESULTS Of 292 children recruited, 280 (mean +/- SD age: 2.5 +/- 1.2 y) qualified for analysis. One hundred forty-six (52%) children were African American and 134 (48%) were Hispanic; 202 (72%) were enrolled in the Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program. A low serum zinc concentration (<10.7 mumol/L) was present in 34 (12%) children, and 37 (13%) were anemic (hemoglobin < 110 g/L). African American (odds ratio: 3.47; 95% CI: 1.51, 7.96) and anemic (odds ratio: 2.92; 95% CI: 1.24, 6.90) children had an increased risk of zinc deficiency. Serum zinc correlated with hemoglobin (r = 0.24, P < 0.001). Children with a height/length less than the fifth percentile had significantly lower mean serum zinc concentrations than those with a height/length greater than the fifth percentile (12.4 +/- 1.8 compared with 13.0 +/- 2.2 micromol/L; P < 0.001). In a multiple logistic regression model, African American race-ethnicity was associated with zinc deficiency (odds ratio: 0.26; P = 0.02). The main sources of iron and zinc in the diets were meat products and cereals. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of zinc deficiency and anemia was high in this population of low-income minority children, especially among African Americans. Further investigation of the incidence of zinc deficiency and the ability of anemia to screen for it is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of supplementation with iron or multiple micronutrients (MM) on the prevalence of anaemia in a malaria-endemic area. METHODS A community-based randomized double-blind trial was conducted in rural Burkina Faso, including children aged 6-23 months with haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations of 70-109 g/l who were randomized into an iron group (Fe, n = 96), an iron and zinc group (IZ, n = 100) or an MM group (MM, n = 100), 5 days/week for 6 months. All children were provided with insecticide-treated bednets; those who had a Plasmodium falciparum (PF) positive-smear at baseline and/or at each monthly checking received antimalarial therapy. RESULTS The mean (SD) endpoint Hb concentration was higher in the MM group [113.2 (13.6) g/l] than in the IZ group [106.3 (15.6) g/l] and the Fe group [107.1 (12.9) g/l] (P = 0.001). Children in the MM group were more likely to recover from anaemia than those in the Fe group [prevalence rate ratios, PRR (95% confidence interval, CI) = 1.62 (1.22-2.15), P < 0.001]. The IZ group did not differ from the Fe group [PRR (95% CI) = 0.94 (0.65-1.35), P = 0.72]. None of the interactions on the effect of supplementation of baseline age (0.13), or baseline height-for-age z-score (P = 0.33), or incident PF parasitemia (P = 0.99), was significant. CONCLUSION In this malaria-endemic area, in combination with malaria management, the MM supplement was more efficacious than the Fe supplement and the IZ supplement for reducing anaemia. Further investigation into limiting factors and amounts of micronutrients that would be more efficacious for reducing anaemia is recommended.
