		<title>Supplemental calcium-iron interactions: New findings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Calcium and iron deficiency are common in both developed and developing countries. Calcium deficiency can lead to abnormal growth and remodeling of the skeleton, while iron deficiency has profound effects on energy metabolism, work performance, immunity and cognitive function. Supplementation with calcium or iron, or the development of calcium- and iron-fortified foods, can be effective <strong>strategies</strong> for augmenting low calcium and iron intakes.  

However, earlier work had indicated that relatively low levels of dietary calcium (~ 200 mg) could markedly reduce the efficiency of iron absorption from single meals.]]></description>
