进行了一系列的研究，以评估城市男性班图成年人的铁消耗量。结果发现，大多数人每天服用50至100毫克，其中大部分存在于发酵酒精饮料中。在班图和白色受试者中测定班图啤酒中铁的可用性。在两组中，它的吸收程度与铁盐相同。总的来说，班图人的吸收百分比较低，这可能是因为他们中的大多数人体内储存的物质比正常情况下要多。从获得的数据看来，班图中年男子的铁质沉着症程度可以单独用铁摄入量高来解释。
A series of studies were carried out to assess the amounts of Fe being consumed by urban male Bantu adults. It was found that the majority were taking between 50 and 100 mg daily, most of which was present in fermented alcoholic beverages. The availability of Fe in Bantu beer was measured in Bantu and white subjects. In both groups it was absorbed to the same degree as a ferric salt. On the whole the percentage absorption was lower in the Bantu subjects, and this was probably due to the fact that body stores are greater than normal in the majority of them. From the data obtained it would appear that the degrees of siderosis present in middle-aged Bantu men can be explained on their high Fe intake alone.
