34: ZINCOur bodies need zinc for many different functions, which include protein and carbohydrate metabolism, wound healing, growth andvision.

Several groups of people are at risk of developing dietary zinc deficiency. If you restrict your food to vegetables, and particularlywholegrain cereals, you could become deficient in zinc. Although zinc is present in these foods, it is not utilized by the body asefficiently as the zinc in other sources, such as meat, eggs and liver. Alcoholics also develop zinc deficiency, due to an inadequatediet and to large losses of zinc in their urine. Zinc deficiency also appears to be a problem in some disease states. Inadequatezinc intake can result in retarded growth, delayed wound healing, loss of taste sensation and dermatitis.

ZINC INTAKE

The dietary requirement for zinc must take into account the different degree of availability of zinc in different foods. Animalproducts are more efficient sources compared with cereals. The recommended dietary intake for zinc assumes that the zinccomes from mixed animal and plant sources. For people who do not eat animal products a higher intake may be necessary.
