Recently, China and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition common
to carry out the "iron fortified soy sauce Project Phase II" project
started, the supermarket in addition to ordinary soy sauce, added the
"iron fortified soy sauce" --- the new members of the soy sauce with
iron by supplements to achieve the purpose of improving the anemia.
The goal is to use three years to promote the country, so that more
people buy iron fortified soy sauce. According to national standards,
iron fortified soy sauce to add the amount of iron in the 175 to 210
mg / 100 ml, equal to the daily intake of 2.4 to 3.4 mg of iron, about
harmful doses of 1 / 4000. Large amounts of data indicate that iron
fortified soy sauce on iron deficiency and anemia in people with
significant nutritional improvement. However, patients suffering from
certain diseases should be careful not to eat the "iron fortified soy
sauce."
Iron overload may be involved in the occurrence of type 2 diabetes,
development, and its effects have a certain relationship. Global
clinical data and epidemiological investigation found that the body
iron overload and insulin resistance and diabetes has some contact.
American scholars from the 1988-1994 National Health Examination 3rd
of 9486 cases of adult levels of serum ferritin data were analyzed.
Found elevated serum ferritin increased risk of diabetes. Finnish
scholars found that 1013 cases of middle-aged men, the body iron
stores and insulin, blood glucose levels were positively correlated.
Singapore, a study of 126 patients with type 2 diabetes and 530
healthy people for comparison, also found that diabetes, elevated
serum ferritin. Some studies have confirmed that poorly controlled
diabetes, serum iron and ferritin were higher than those with diabetes
is well controlled, to iron treatment, decreased blood glucose control
more difficult. That too much iron supplement diabetic patients may
promote the development of diabetes, and not conducive to the
treatment of diabetes.
