Abstract
The results counter the assertion that iron deficiency in developed countries is the result of low iron intakes. This study did not explore factors such as the type and bioavailability of dietary iron sources consumed by the participants. However, the authors speculate that these variables may have a greater impact on iron status than total dietary iron intakes or lifestyle determinants.
