Oysters and red meat are good sources of bioavailable zinc.

✓Well SupportedMeat and organs are the optimal first complementary food for infants from six months of age.

◐Partially SupportedMeat is considered an optimal first food for babies according to mainstream guidelines from 2020-2025.

◐Partially SupportedDesiccated organ supplements can be given to children, for example, one to two capsules daily mixed with foods like applesauce.

◐Partially SupportedIron is a commonly under-consumed nutrient for US infants.

◐Partially SupportedAn estimated 77% of US infants fed human milk have inadequate iron intake during the second half of infancy due to insufficient meat consumption by mothers.

◐Partially SupportedInfants accept pureed red meat, such as beef, as a first complementary food.

✕Not SupportedBeans and lentils are not good sources of bioavailable zinc and iron, respectively.

◐Partially SupportedInfants and toddlers consuming beans are unlikely to absorb sufficient zinc or other essential mineral nutrients.

◐Partially SupportedThe bioavailability of minerals in grains, nuts, seeds, or beans cannot be accurately stated without considering bioavailability factors.

◐Partially SupportedMeat and organs are primary sources of zinc for children.

◐Partially SupportedRed meat (beef) is richer in iron, zinc, choline, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 compared to other protein sources.

◐Partially SupportedLow consumption of beef by toddlers contributes to increased rates of childhood obesity, insulin resistance, and poor health.

◐Partially SupportedMany children consume chicken nuggets, fish, turkey, or lamb instead of beef, missing out on key nutrients.

◐Partially SupportedHeme iron is highly bioavailable, similar to the bioavailability of iron in breast milk.

◐Partially SupportedInfant iron requirements increase significantly around six months of age, from 0.27 mg/day to 11 mg/day.
