“…However, lead pica is most common among low-income children, and a survey of studies of mineral nutrition in the United States (17) indicated that almost 60 percent of the low-income households surveyed provided less than the minimum recommended level of calcium, a degree of failure greater than for any other nutrient surveyed. Thus low-income families are likely to provide inadequate calcium levels for their children.…”

Weanling rats eating a low calcium diet voluntarily ingested lead acetate solutions in much greater proportions than did iron-deficient or control weanlings. This increased ingestion occurred even with high concentrations of lead acetate which normal weanlings found extremely aversive. Chronic injections of lead acetate into weanlings did not change lead ingestion, indicating an absence of behavioral regulation of body lead levels. Female lead-injected weanlings did show a significant increase in calcium ingestion. Calcium deficiency may be one component of lead pica.

In sports, vitamins along with minerals, particularly iron, and the energy nutrients such as carbohydrates, are considered especially important. Frequently single or multiple vitamins in combination with other active substances such as iron, other minerals or carbohydrates are administered. In sports, vitamins are added to carbohydrate mixtures or electrolytes enriched with vitamins are offered and frequently used. There is no doubt that due to the numerous effects of vitamins, a connection must exist between the vitamin status and athletic performance capability. It can be concluded that vitamin deficiencies have a negative effect on physical and mental performance. The release of energy can only attain its maximum output when the organism has the required substances at its disposal. Iron is of central importance among these active substances, since its presence in haemoglobin is essential for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide, makes it possible for myoglobin to function as an oxygen supply depot and guarantees the functioning of internal respiration in the respiratory chain and various key enzymes. Muscle training increases not only the respiratory chain but also several other iron-rich enzymes. This makes even more astonishing the fact that a variety of recently published articles report on iron deficiency among athletes. The effect of the iron deficiency with anaemia (sports anaemia) is manifest in a reduction of aerobic capacity with an increase in lactate acidosis, greater fatigue, loss of appetite, muscular cramps and vasomotor disturbances.
