As recently published in the Journal of Nutrition, the nutritional supplement known as Sprinkles which can be added to children's food have been found to reduce anemia by more than half.

Conducted in rural haitilinks where at least two out of every three children under age 3 are anemic- the study was led by Purnima Menon, Cornell Ph.D. '02 (a research associate in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell) and the first to show, using a rigorous study design, that Sprinkles can reduce the incidence of anemia among poor children enrolled in an ongoing fortified food aid program implemented under challenging, real-life conditions in developing countries.

The findings have global implications which can be used as a very effective way to reduce micronutrient deficiencies in other parts of the world.
