they are fortified to help eliminate mineral deficiencies, such as the presence of traces of iodine in regular table salt to avoid iodine defficiencies which could trigger conditions such as goiters which involve the swelling of the thyroid gland

Refined foods often eliminate many of the nutrients originally found in the food itself. By refining the food, it removes or damages many of the characteristics of the original ingredients.
Functional Foods
foods contain enzymes and bacteria that help digest food and eliminate wastes.
Foods high in fiber and foods with antioxives are considered by most to be belly fat burning foods. There is not a magic food that will eliminate belly fat however.
An example of a Fortified food is milk. It is high in vitamin D.
food sources of fiber including whole grains, vegetables, legumes and fruits, fortified foods with fiber like bars, drinks, and other foods and fiber supplements
eliminate high fructose corn syrup and eat whole foods rather than processed foods.
Some foods have vitamins and/or minerals added by the manufacturer. Examples are fortified bread, vitamin D milk, and iodized salt.
Enriched or fortified foods are processed foods. In the factory processing the nutruents have been lost. So the factory has to put them back in, thereby the advertisers 'bend' the truth, by telling you that it is fortified. It is advertising rubbish.. Go onto a totally natural diet of fresh food ; meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruit. maybe thre occasional drink and a little bread. You never see a fat native in the jungle, because they are on a totally natural diet, which they have to hunt/forage for.
foods in the dairy groups are mainly foods like milk cheese butter and ice cream OMG is that all you can give C U N T!!
Vitamins can be found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, meat, and most natural foods. Vitamins can also be added to foods -- usually referred to as, "fortified foods." Cereals, breads, and rice are a few of the foods that are fortified.
