Editors Note
Zinc remains a virtually untarnished, essential element whose
beneficial effects have been reported in children with ADHD, pneumonia, and diarrhea. (See also AAP Grand Rounds, December
2005;14:646 and June 2008;19:64.7) Although red meat and poultry
are the major vehicles of zinc in the American diet, fish, beans, seeds,
and dairy products are also excellent food sources. We would love to
see this Peruvian study taken one step further with an assessment of
continued supplementation of women throughout lactation.
