The diet was planned with a test breakfast to compare the availabilities of zinc, iron, and copper from browned corn products (corn flakes) with those from unbrowned corn products (hot corn grit cereal). The breakfast served for all 3 days of the menu cycle at all energy levels was identical, with only the... 

Radioisotopes 55Zn-labeled corn products were served once in the form of corn flakes and once in the form of corn grit cereal to each volunteer. At the time of feeding the radioactively labeled cereal, a portion was measured to obtain the desired level of radioactivity and then the corresponding unlabeled product was added to obtain the total desired weight of cereal. Each test meal contained 0.1-0.5 pCi 65Zn. 

Subject 2070 was inadvertently given 20 mg 65Cu rather than 2 mg with the corn grit test meal. This probably caused the slightly positive copper balance he had while on the com grit diet. 

Metal Binding in Corn Products Binding of iron, zinc and copper by corn flakes and grits was determined at pH 5, 6, and 7. Corn flakes bound more copper and less iron than did corn grits, as shown in Table VI.

Geese are more self-sufficient than clucks and like to roam freely. They are not fussy birds and, as long as they have fresh water, mixed corn, grit, and a large supply of grass, they need little else. Their main need is to be protected from foxes and vermin at night.

Vegetable dishes—Many peoples around the world prepare cooked grains as vegetable side dishes, or in mixed dishes like stews and casseroles. For example, cooked corn grits are a regular accompaniment to meals in the south eastern United States, whereas cooked fresh sweet corn often serves a similar function in the Midwest. Likewise, most southeastern Asians have cooked rice with their meals. 

Recent modifications in the food patterns have provided pupils with experiences in (1) eating foods used mainly by minority ethnic groups (items such as bulgur wheat and corn grits), and (2) new types of food preparations (such eis meat dishes extended with soy protein).
