What mineral is not included in children's multivitamin/mineral supplements because it is a major cause of unintentional poisoni
MariettaO [177]
The correct answer is iron, because it is often not included in children's multivitamin/mineral supplements. Iron is an important element for our health. It is especially important for the proper functioning of our red blood cells and it is found in many foods. Although iron is essential, too much can lead to iron toxicity. Iron poisoning was the leading cause of death from the medicine overdose in children younger than 6 years until the ends of the 1990s. But the trend has since changed due to better warning labels, education of prescribers, changes in iron preparations, and consumer awareness.
