[edit] Spinach is not as good as people think
An interesting abstract [1] on pubmed indicates that: 1. Spinach is a poor source of dietary iron 2. Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) doubles the iron absorbed from spinach.
Posted this hoping there's someone will find a good place to work this into the article. -- Matthew 1130 11:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Iron deficincy anaemia
There is one page on "Iron deficiency anaemia" and one page on "iron deficiency (medicine)". They are closely related topics and perhaps they should be merged. Perhaps, a decision on a merge could by made by a consensus opinion soon and in the early stages of this subjects "medicine collaboration of the week", in order to prevent confusion at a later stage.
- I would vote for the pages to be merged. Snowman 19:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- I agree --Emevas 21:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changed table
I replaced table under "Good Natural Sources of Iron (Foods)" since previous was vegy oriented and didn't include any heme iron group (fish-meat). Its not perfect, dosages aren't very specific, but I think it has enough variety.
