The fortification of staple foods has eliminated many deficiency diseases. Despite this, "tampering" with people's food always provokes opposition, much of it from health professionals. Opposition is often based on self-interest, tunnel vision and theory rather than research. A historical perspective of the patterns of objections to fortification and its outcomes may help resolve the anxieties and opposing ethical positions of advocates and opponents of fortification.
主食的强化消除了许多营养缺乏疾病。尽管如此，“干预”人们的食物总是会引发反对，其中大部分反对来自健康专家。反对往往基于自身利益、狭隘的观点和理论而非研究。从历史角度审视对强化的反对模式及其结果，可能有助于化解强化倡导者和反对者的焦虑及相互对立的伦理立场。
