Impact of rising body weight and cereal grain food processing on human magnesium nutrition (2020)
Journal Article
Rosanoff, A., & Kumssa, D. B. (2020). Impact of rising body weight and cereal grain food processing on human magnesium nutrition. Plant and Soil, 457, 5–23. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-020-04483-7

Aim The World Health Organisation (WHO) magnesium (Mg) estimated average requirement (EAR) is not adjusted for rise in human body weight (BW) and neglects body Mg stores depletion. Cereal grain food processing results in Mg loss and reduces dietar... Read More about Impact of rising body weight and cereal grain food processing on human magnesium nutrition.
