I found this fascinating article today:

Aberdeen scientists are seeking 100 healthy male volunteers for a £1 million study to understand how zinc from food can affect human metabolism.

Scientists from the universities of Colorado and Aberystwyth will collaborate in the study which is funded by the Food Standards Agency.
