Question 2

Ling, a young girl from China, is taken to her pediatrician by her parents because she is extremely tired and irritable, and is showing signs of developmental delay. During the examination, the doctor notices that Ling has very brittle nails, has very thin hair, and has a distinct odor to her breath. Knowing that dietary deficiencies are common for people from Ling's village, blood tests are run. What mineral deficiency and disease is she most likely suffering from? What foods would you suggest she incorporate to improve her condition?

Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Ling most likely has a deficiency of selenium and has Keshan Disease. In order to rectify this deficiency, Ling should eat more seafood, liver and other meats if possible, and whole grains, particularly imported from other regions of the world where selenium levels in the soil are high.
