I saw that experiment back in the 60's on educational TV. These short programs were probably made in the 50's. It was not presented in an alarmist sort of way - the iron was a nutritional supplement. Back in the old days, Americans had no fear of food of the foods they ate. Well, except maybe butter.. These days, Americans are running scared. That's the breaks.
