Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zinc deficiency may be prevented by making breads with yeast;the yeast breaks the bond between the zinc and phytic acid,which prevents zinc from being absorbed.Eating refined grains would result in even lower zinc intake;fortification of grains does not include adding zinc;and soaking grains before making bread does not release the zinc from the phytic acid.
