complementary feeding practices and dietary intakes from complementary foods amongst weanlings in rural malawi.	the objectives of this study were to estimate the quantity and nutritive quality of the complementary diet in rural malawi, and to identify feeding practices, nutrients and dietary modifiers of iron and zinc bioavailability that may limit the quality of the diet.	2001	11593345
dietary phytate reduction improves zinc absorption in malawian children recovering from tuberculosis but not in well children.	high dietary phytate content that compromises zinc nutriture is thought to be a major problem among children of the developing world. zinc stable isotope techniques permit the quantitative assessment of the effect of phytate reduction on zinc homeostasis. we tested the hypothesis that zinc absorption would be increased in malawian children fed a reduced-phytate corn-plus-soy diet compared with a standard high phytate diet. twenty-three children hospitalized in blantyre, malawi, were enrolled. ch ...	2000	11110854
