Summary

This study looks at how young women absorb zinc and iron from four types of common beans. Researchers want to see if natural compounds in beans, like phytate and polyphenols, affect how much of these minerals the body can use. Fifteen healthy women who eat beans regularly will participate in a crossover study where they eat different bean meals and have their blood tested.
