Ah the days when you could survive a month on macaroni and breathmints - now you have to be militant on what you eat.

I know the feeling

HEME vs NONHEME

[ediebabe]

this is the question I have to ask everytime I go for dietary iron. HEME is the most easily assimilated and found in meats only NONHEME is found in veggies and must be eaten with vitamine c containing foods in order to be absorbed by the body of a healthy person - some one wiht already low levels and a compromised system may not be able to absorb very much NONHEME even with vit c until they up thier levels. Sigh I'm learning more about nutrition and the body than I really anticipated in such a short time. To bad its more forced than by choice and passion... I mean I love to learn and all about the body but this is purely forced learning at the moment. Evolution will come whether I actively seek it or not I guess - lucky thing I suppose.
