Jeez .. you must have read the abstract .. THIS .. time .. eh ..

Phytic acid is an iron chelator ..

You don't .. KNOW .. that .. ?

>so let's help here. Because phytic acid reduces
>absorption of iron

BECAUSE .. it is an iron chelator .. binder ..

>vitamin c is suggested which frees the iron from
>grains/beans etc. type iron containing foods.

Vitamin C is not mentioned in the article ..

>Howeever in one test the
>iron from such veggies in the presence of vit c caused ulcers.

ANOTHER .. article .. directly from THE DEEP RECESSES OF MARKDS' .. brain ..

Post it ..

>On balance
>using vit c to free iron from veggies in a highly veggie diet is a good
>thing and should be encouraged to prevent low iron status.

All veggies CONTAIN .. vitamin C .. already ..

The potential

Heh .. heh ..

Great ..

You are good for a fkn .. laugh ..
