Dietary Intake and Exposure Assessment of Trace Elements in Infants' Diets: A Case Study in Kuwait

This study confirms that infants are exposed to toxic trace elements via diet, warranting careful attention to diet choices both to limit this exposure and to avert potentially hazardous adverse health effects to the infants. However, based on the calculated hazard quotients (HQs) and margin of exposures (MOEs), consuming breast milk in addition to almost all different types of infant foods is considered safe and unlikely to contribute to infants' non-cancerous health hazards.PMID:38196052 | DOI:10.1007/s12011-023-04045-9
