| Organic foods have been repeatedly claimed to have a superior nutrient content. However, effects of production method on absorption of nutrients in vivo remains understood. Our aim was to investigate the effects of organic and conventional diets on intake and absorption of zinc and copper in humans. A double-blind, cross-over, intervention trial (3 dietary periods of 12 days, separated with 2-week-long wash-out periods) was performed in 2008 (n=17) and 2009 (n=16) in young men. The diets were based on 9 crops grown in 2 organic and 1 conventional systems in 2 replications over 2 years. Primary outcomes were intake and apparent absorption of zinc and copper. The absorption was determined by fecal excretion of stable enriched isotopes extrinsically added... |
