Abstract
Hydroponically grown wheat was intrinsically labelled with the stable isotope 106cadmium (106Cd) and the flour made into a porridge. The abundance of the isotope in the porridge was approximately 30 times the natural abundance, but the total level of Cd in the porridge was 0.03 mg/kg fresh weight, which was the same as expected in a normal diet. Cadmium measurements were made using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The porridge was eaten at breakfast by adult and infant volunteers. Bulked faecal collections were analysed for unabsorbed Cd. Initial results suggest that the apparent absorption of Cd may be higher than 5% as commonly quoted, but longer faecal collection times may be necessary to confirm this.
