Breastfed infants fed iron-only-fortified cereals showed significant decreases in the beneficial bacteria Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillales over the study period, while these bacteria remained relatively unchanged in infants fed iron-zinc-fortified cereals or meat.
| Effect size | Bifidobacterium P = 0.004; Lactobacillales P = 0.04 |
| Comparator | Iron-and-zinc-fortified cereals and pureed meats groups (where Bifidobacterium was relatively unchanged) |
| Effect summary | adverse; Bifidobacterium P = 0.004; Lactobacillales P = 0.04 |
| Adverse events | decreased abundance of Bifidobacterium 0%, decreased abundance of Lactobacillales 0% |
