>ferrous sulfate>thiamin mononitrate>riboflavin>folic acidThese four additives are added to almost all ready-to-go food stuffs. What I want to know is... why?
>>20920116Because of shelf life fatso.
probably the most common nutrient deficiencies. if we didn't fortify food then people would be dying from subsisting on sandwiches and instant noodles.I did learn recently that reduced iron is added to cereal for shelf life though and is practically indigestable since its already a poor iron source and milk further prevents iron absorption.

>>20920132Then why did you ask if you already knew the answer young lady?

>>20920116I add ferrous sulfate to the gallic acid I extract from oak galls to make ink. Reacts damn near instantly. I guess it's just in food to prevent iron deficiency, which is a bad way to go.
