Nutrient deficiency

Future diets will be short of micronutrients like iron — it’s time to consider how we feed people

Retrieved on: 
Friday, September 1, 2023

In New Zealand, 10.6% of women aged 15-18 and 12.1% of women aged 31-50 suffer from iron deficiency.

Key Points: 
  • In New Zealand, 10.6% of women aged 15-18 and 12.1% of women aged 31-50 suffer from iron deficiency.
  • As more people consider switching to plant-based diets, the risk of iron deficiency will likely increase.
  • We argue that fortifying foods with iron could provide a one-stop solution to bridge nutrient gaps caused by inadequate dietary intake.

Food fortification

    • Many foods in supermarket shelves, including common staples such as bread and cereals, already have added nutrients.
    • Unlike mandatory iodine and folic acid fortification of bread, there is currently no government initiative to encourage or mandate iron fortification in New Zealand.

Shift to plant-based diets

    • More consumers are opting for diets that include fewer animal-sourced foods in the hope of reducing environmental impacts and emissions.
    • Recent statistics show a 19% increase in the adoption of vegan and vegetarian diets among New Zealanders from 2018 to 2021.
    • Considering these plant-based diets for a sustainable food system must involve conversations about nutrient availability.

      Fortification can be a potent strategy in helping people to shift towards plant-based diets by enriching these diets with nutrients that would otherwise be lacking.

Is NZ ready for iron-fortified foods?

    • Given the importance of adequate dietary iron intake and the projected shortage in dietary iron, it is crucial to evaluate the benefits of fortification.
    • Educational interventions such as promoting awareness of iron deficiency and positive impacts of fortification may help improve consumers’ acceptance of these initiatives.

How do coral reefs thrive in parts of the ocean that are low in nutrients? By eating their algal companions

Thursday, August 24, 2023

Coral reefs thrive in parts of the world’s oceans that are low in nutrients.

Key Points: 
  • Coral reefs thrive in parts of the world’s oceans that are low in nutrients.
  • This mystery has puzzled scientists for centuries and has become known as the “Darwin paradox of coral reefs”.
  • We found that many species of coral cultivate and feed on the microscopic algae that live inside their cells.
  • Coral reefs are important underwater ecosystems that provide a home and feeding ground for countless organisms, sustaining around 25% of the world’s ocean biodiversity.

Vegetarian diet

    • This nutrient compound was marked by a technique called isotopic labelling, which uses nitrogen atoms that are heavier than normal.
    • These “heavy” isotopes allowed us to track the movement of nitrogen between the partners of the symbiosis by ultrasensitive detection methods.
    • Our data suggest that most species of symbiotic corals can supplement their nutrition through such a vegetarian diet.

From the laboratory to the ocean

    • Together with our colleagues, we also analysed corals growing around remote islands in the Indian Ocean, some with seabirds on them and some without.
    • Our results show that corals have the potential to farm and feed on their symbiont algae in the wild too.

Global warming could complicate matters

    • In the future, some coral reefs could face a decrease in nutrient availability due to global warming.
    • Research suggests that warming surface waters are less likely to receive nutrients from deeper water layers.
    • The reduced water productivity could result in fewer nutrients for their symbionts and subsequently less food for the coral animals.
