Gale Virtual Refrence Library: Lesson 4

I chose to researce abatement. This would be very usefull for a student . I then searched water pollution control. With the amount of newer farmers trying to make their use greener I felt this may be a search widely used because it describes how water run off may be cleaned and what can be done to prevent contaminated runoff.
I looked up minerals to find what foods have zinc in them. There was a link to click on at the bottom of the screen on zinc. It didn'tgive me any info. on types of food that have zink so I researched it.It brought me to an article labeled Nutrition. This gave me a little more but no foods were pin pointed that had zinc in them. I then searched food with zinc. This gave me a lot more. I found that most foods have zinc. Foods that are processed, over cooked have less zinc and other minerals in them. Whole foods such as whole breads, fresh fruit and vegtables also will help you with zinc. What you eat will aid in absorption in zinc. Because zinc is a fatty mineral it stays in your body longer.
The read to me was very interesting and I liked it.
