VEGETARIAN FOOD IS A MUCH BETTER SOURCE OF IRON
The problem with plant sources of iron is that often the iron is bound
in such a way that it is not easily absorbed from the gut. Adding citric acid, such as found in many citrus and other fruits helps to free the plant bound iron. This problem is reflected in the fact that low iron is the world's number one health problem, especially in women and children. This is highest where not eating much meat is a cultural or poverty issue. |
