Hi All, Since we were talking about anemia, I looked at some websites to find what foods were iron rich. I'm definately going to incorporate more of these foods into my diet.
Interestingly, it said that TEA inhibits the body's ability to absorb iron from foods. I'm not a big tea drinker, but for those who are, it would be something to reconsider. Some Good Sources Foods Rich in Iron* (Dietary Iron) are: List of Grains Rich in Iron: Iron (mg.)
