Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
You will then be assigned to eat regular rice dishes or rice dishes fortified with iron for the two-week period. The assignment to the rice group will be made randomly (like flipping a coin). Your chance of being in either rice group will be 50:50. You will be given 14 frozen rice meals in styrofoam containers to take home. You will be expected to eat two rice dishes per day for the next study week and to bring the empty containers to your next study visit.

Non-fortified rice
Consumption of 2 servings of Non-fortified rice per day in women with iron deficiency anemia and measure serum iron and transferrin at baseline and end of study.
Iron-fortified Rice
2 servings per day of Rice enriched in iron for women with iron-deficient anemia to restore their blood counts more efficiently than the standard rice not enriched with iron.
Iron-fortified Rice
Consumption of 2 servings of Iron-fortified rice per day in women with iron deficiency anemia and measure serum iron and transferrin at baseline and end of study.
