Biofortification of Vegetables with Iodine and Molybdenum for Healthy Nutrition: A Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Excessive sugar, fat, and salt intake heighten susceptibility to metabolic syndrome and other chronic metabolic conditions. Biofortification (i.e., enhancing the nutritional content of crops) emerges as a sustainable new approach to address dietary deficiencies. Methods: This study evaluated the impact of an acute nutritional intervention in a controlled, randomized, single-blind trial involving healthy adults aged 50-79 years, in late middle age and early older adulthood utilizing biofortified vegetables enriched with iodine and molybdenum, aimed to explore short-term biochemical responses to the consumption of iodine- and molybdenum-biofortified lettuce. The study was designed as a controlled dietary intervention including both a biofortified and a no
