celiac disease, and many people who are eating a gluten free diet haven

with celiac disease. That translates to about 1.8 million Americans with celiac disease, but about

Nutritional Science 203 Assignment 2 1. Choose a micronutrient or a macro-mineral that you would like to learn more about and why (2 points). The macro-mineral that I am interested in learning about is calcium because the body does not produce calcium, so we have to obtain it from food sources.
