Summary
This study looked at whether a type of corn with extra nutrients (biofortified maize) can help children absorb more zinc and iron than regular corn. Researchers studied 56 school-aged children in Guatemala who ate tortillas made from this special corn. The goal was to see if this simple food change could improve nutrition without needing supplements.
