LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, October 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In this podcast you will learn how food fortification can help prevent children going blind.
According to UNICEF, 40 to 60 percent of children and young people in developing nations are affected by a lack of vitamin A. This makes it the most widespread form of malnutrition. Micro-encapsulated vitamin A that is added to staple foods such as oil, sugar or flour is a fundamental contribution to solving this problem.
BASF Corporate Communications started a regular bilingual Podcast service in April 2007 to report on BASF's innovations and research and development activities in an easy-to-understand, informative and entertaining way.
