IRON FACTS
* About half of your body’s iron is contained in your red blood cells.
* Vitamin C enhances the absorption of the iron you eat.
* Tannin in tea decreases the amount of iron you absorb by about 50%.
* Iron in meat is absorbed twice as efficiently as the iron in vegetables.
* More iron from vegetables can be absorbed if meat is eaten in the same meal.
* Iron is part of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen & gives blood its red color.
