Effects of dietary tin on zinc, copper, iron, manganese, and magnesium metabolism of adult males

MA Johnson, MJ Baier and JL Greger

The effects of dietary tin on zinc, copper, iron, manganese, and magnesium metabolism were determined in eight adult males. Subjects were fed mixed diets containing 0.11 mg tin daily (control diet) and 49.67 tin daily (test diet) in this 40-day study. The level of tin in the control diet was typical of the levels of tin found in diets that contain only fresh and frozen foods; the level of tin in the test diet was typical of the amount of tin in diets that contain 2 cups of certain canned foods. When subjects were fed the test diet they lost significantly more zinc (p less than 0.01) in their feces and significantly less zinc (p less than 0.05) in their urine. Subjects retained significantly less zinc (p less than 0.01) when fed the test diet rather than the control diet. The fecal and urinary losses of copper, iron, manganese, and magnesium were not significantly affected by the dietary treatments.
