Yeah, calcium inhibits iron absorption.
So you actually are better off drinking a soda with your burger than milk!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't really have any ideas about iron. I haven't eaten meat since 1994, and my iron levels are consistently on the high end of normal, sometimes veering into too high. I even take iron-free vitamins.

Actually, I don't think calcium significantly inhibits the absorption of heme iron. You can haz cheesburger.

And the dairy's only a problem if your iron is low and you want to give blood.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Jews.
I misread that as "Jaws". I think I need a nap.

I have iron problems. I take my iron supplements with vitamin B and C. My doctor swears it can help. No idea if it's true or not. (It turns my pee fascinating colours, too.)
We are about to put in an offer on THE HOUSE (well - tomorrow - we want to sleep on it, to be sure). I'm so excited. I'm also so exhausted, I can't move from bed, after seeing five houses and climbing three sets of stairs today (and then I realised it was well past time to stop climbing stairs). My father, truly the loveliest dad on the planet, drove up from the south coast and gave us excellent advice on the house we want, as well as on the other four we were seeing. Adorable.

Movers are still here. I guess this move will be a while. Seems like it's taking forever. Not to say they're slow or anything, just....sigh. Guess I have way too much stuff (and I'm moving into a bigger house!?!?)
