Are You Worried About Iron?

No hamburgers? Are we going to become anemic? As with calcium, iron is abundant in plant foods, especially dried fruits and dark leafy greens. Until recently, most people in China consumed almost no meat and their iron content was higher than most Americans.9 And when there is sufficient vitamin C in your diet, like when you eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, the iron you eat is more easily absorbed by the body.
