2. Excluding dairy, meat, and eggs, adequate dietary protein can be obtained by consuming a varied diet with adequate caloric intake and plant-based proteins.
3. Intake of iodized salt generally provides the recommended intake of iodine.
4. Iron absorption is generally higher for animal products than for vegetable products.
