5. The science of micro-nutrition is poorly
understood by the medical profession who
continue to promote a balanced diet of 5
fruit and vegetables per day, but who fail to
notice that...
This advice is not backed by any solid scientific
evidence.
Many people do not have access to a balanced
diet.
Where they do, modern food processes and
agricultural practices remove nutrients from the
food chain.

14. 1999: 1st Survey to address
micronutrient deficiencies in SA
2003: Food fortification Mandate
iron, zinc, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin
and vitamin B6 to maize and wheat

2005: 2nd NFC Survey
15. 2 out of 3 Children & 1 out of 4
Women have poor Vitamin A status
In comparison to 1999:
Prevalence of poor Vitamin A status
has gotten WORSE
16. Recommendations
The food fortification programme
must continue…
Innovative means of communication
such as the cell phone should be
used to disseminate nutrition
education messages
Introduce a national day for single
high dose vitamin A supplements
17. Nationally, 45% of children had an
inadequate zinc status
Recommendations
The food fortification programme
must continue …
Provide appropriate and
comprehensive training to personnel
of crèches to administer zinc
supplements
18. Deterioration in the Vitamin A, Iron and Zinc
status in children and women of child-bearing
age
A positive knowledge, attitude and behaviour
towards food fortification
Wide purchase and use of fortified products at
household level
25. We find that there is less than 20 mg of
ascorbic acid in a potato. Yet this small
amount, since it is complexed in a food
source, is all the body needs not only to
prevent scurvy, but also to cure it.
By contrast, the isolated chemical
ascorbic acid has been shown to be
insufficient in resolving a scurvy
condition, simply because it does not act
as a nutrient.
32. WITH FOODSTATE® NUTRIENTS, ONLY CONSERVATIVE
AMOUNTS NEED TO BE TAKEN…
Because they are absorbed as readily as food
and are retained longer by the body,
providing high potency reserves that the body
can use when it needs them most.
The human body does not utilize isolated
chemicals efficiently and taking them in mega
doses is not only ineffectual but may also be
dangerous.
