An egg is cracked onto a heated pan and kept in tact: The yolk and the whites are not meant to meddle. The egg is fried on one side until the whites form a solid (signaling that they're fully cooked) and the edges of the whites begin to crisp. The egg is then removed from the pan and served.
Zinc deficiency is characterized by growth retardation, loss of appetite, and impaired immune function. In more severe cases, zinc deficiency causes hair loss, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation, impotence, hypogonadism in males, and eye and skin lesions [2,8,24,25]. Weight loss, delayed healing of wounds, taste abnormalities, and mental lethargy can also occur [5,8,26-30].
For diarrhea in malnourished or zinc-deficient children: 10-40 mg elemental zinc daily. For preventing and treating pneumonia in undernourished children in developing countries: 10-70 mg/day. For hypogeusia (sense of taste is abnormal): 25-100 mg zinc. For the eating disorder anorexia nervosa: 100 mg of zinc gluconate daily. For treating stomach ulcers: zinc sulfate 200 mg three times daily. For muscle cramps in zinc deficient people with liver disease: zinc sulfate 220 mg twice daily.
