食品微营养素强化——消除“隐性饥饿”的有效途径

食品微营养素强化的概念产生于20世纪初期。近80年的实践经验表明，食品微营养素强化是实现控制微营养素缺乏症的最为经济、有效且简单易行的办法，对于防止多种疾病、改善人类健康水平、提高生产率和促进经济发展都具有很大的推动作用。目前，发达国家已经广泛实施食品微营养素强化，从而较好地实现了控制微营养素缺乏症的目标，但是绝大多数发展中国家仍然任重道远。发达国家在该领域的实践经验值得我国认真加以吸取。

Food Fortification-an Effective Way to Eliminate "Recessive Hunger"

The concept of food micronutrient fortification originated during the early 1920s'. The practices within the past 80 years have proved that food fortification is the most economical, effective and simplest way to control micronutrients deficiency, and it may to a great extent help prevent diseases, improve health, enhance productivity, and promote economic development. At present, the developed countries have broadly adopted food fortifications, and have successfully kept micronutrients deficiency under control. But most of the developing countries still have a long way to go in this area. The experiences of the developed countries are worth learning by our country.
