This report found that children aged 1 – 4 years may be

low in vitamin E, potassium and fiber,

they appear to be adequate in magnesium and the other minerals,

are adequate in all the B vitamins and vitamin C.


Some children aged 1 – 3 years (up to 15%)

are getting too much copper, selenium, vitamin A and folate from their foods.

Up to 69% of 1 – 3 year olds are getting too much zinc, and

80 – 93% are getting more than enough sodium from their foods while  most are probably getting too little potassium to balance that sodium.
