AB  - For growth, the development of the brain and body, and disease resistance, trace amounts of micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are required. The body cannot synthesis them, thus they must be obtained by diet and other means. Poor physical and mental growth, mental retardation, and blindness are all effects of malnutrition in susceptible populations such newborn infants, pregnant and nursing mothers, and the elderly. By adding essential components to food, food fortification is a secure and efficient method for increasing micronutrient consumption and restoring amounts lost during processing.
