You are so right! Just because we might dodge an outright deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra doesn't mean we are getting enough of certain nutrients.
This might even be the case for macro-nutrients, too. Are fat avoiders getting enough saturated fats? Are older people getting enough protein? And especially, are all those nutrients found in some foods really getting used by our body? |
