About of FOOD IRON RICH
Iron & Anemia - Ask the Dietitian
Answers questions commonly asked about iron and role it has in consumer diet.
Some may have low iron stores due to the lack of iron rich cereals and vegetables in their diet
Vegetarians should eat dark green leafy vegetables, broccoli, legumes, yeast leavened whole grain breads, iron-enriched pasta, rice and cereal and meat analogs which are high in iron
But foods rich in Vitamin C (papaya, orange, cantaloupe, broccoli, brussel sprouts, raw green peppers, grapefruit, strawberries, etc.) can be as effective as meat meals in improving iron absorption
Is this true? Men who eat red meats, iron rich whole grains and green leafy vegetables can probably meet their iron RDA (10 mg per day)
WIC (Women, Infants and Children) is a federal program whose main purpose is providing iron, calcium, vitamin D and vitamin C rich foods to prevent anemia and rickets in children
Red blood cells that carry iron-rich hemoglobin, live only 120 days or four months
Iron rich foods like liver and red meats are usually not fed to babies until eight to nine months of age
Also, the quantity of iron rich foods needed to prevent anemia in infants under the age of one, is more than an infant could usually eat
Nutrition And Childhood Lead Poisoning, HYG-5536-93
Ohio State University Extension fact sheet on the subject.
The absorption of iron in foods will be enhanced when iron-rich foods are consumed with foods high in vitamin C
Therefore, increasing consumption of low-cost calcium rich foods can reduce the severity of the effects of lead exposure
Calcium rich foods include milk, cheese, yogurt, leafy green vegetables, beets, broccoli, and legumes
Iron
Discusses methods for increasing iron intake and why it is important in diet.
Also has graph detailing foods high in mineral.
This increase is largely due to the fortification and increase in consumption of cereals, flours, breads, and enriched grains
What about enriched or fortified foods? Pasta, white rice, and most breads made from refined flours are enriched with iron, because iron is one of the nutrients lost in processing
Enriched products or products made from enriched flour are labeled as such
Minimum and maximum enrichment levels are specified for thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin, but only a minimum level of iron is required in farina
Thus, iron enrichment levels for farina vary from brand to brand
For vegetarians or vegans, it is important to consume sufficient amounts of moderately-rich iron foods, such as beans, legumes, and fortified breads, cereals, and flours
See section on enriched or fortified foods
Natural Food: Fruit Vitamin C Content
The vitamin C content of over 50 commercial and wild fruits is listed, both by
serving and by 100 mg sample.
For example, the kiwifruit is an exceptionally rich source of vitamin C - a medium sized fruit has 74 mg, but a kiwifruit that has been coolstored for a while has a vitamin C content of 57 mgs

Natural Food: Grains Beans and Seeds
Covers legumes and seeds and their role in the human diet through human evolution.
Focuses on the legume, grain, and seed species worldwide, and is particularly ...
Seeds are a rich store of energy, some have good protein levels, vitamins (especially vitamin E), minerals, and protective phytochemicals
Today, we have a wide range of seeds available to include in our diet, but for historical and cultural reasons Western people now eat only a few kinds of seeds, and, with the exception of beans and peas, generally eat only the carbohydrate store of the seed, leaving the vitamin, oil and mineral rich part behind
Plants have the virtue of standing still, so underground storage tubers and carbohydrate rich seeds are a reliable energy, and in some cases, fat and protein source
Early humans exploiting the riches of marsh, delta and riverine environments had access to the seeds of a reed-like grass, Phragmites autralis ( communis ) 'ditch reed' or 'water grass', which, although the yeild was probably relatively poor (there is little literature on this subject to form a view), had the virtue of being both widespread and in thick stands
In addition to having a large edible tuber, this legume has pods containing one to two oil and protein rich seeds with a nutritional value similar to soya beans or peanuts (the protein content ranges between 30% to 39% - the oil content is in the 36% to 43 % range)

A new food guide for North American vegetarians
Helps vegetarians make good food choices. Includes a Vegetarian food guide pyramid
and other tools to help plan a balanced diet.
Vegetarians should choose whole grains often, but enriched refined grains can play a role in vegetarian diets and may be especially valuable for children
Legumes, nuts, and other protein-rich foods: This group includes foods that are good sources of protein, B-vitamins, and many trace minerals
Ideally, most of the fat in vegetarian diets should come from fat-rich whole plant foods such as nuts, seeds, and avocado
Calcium-rich foods: Adults should choose a minimum of eight servings of calcium-rich foods daily
For example, 1 cup of certain cooked leafy green vegetables counts as a serving from the calcium-rich foods group and as 2 servings from the vegetable group
It should be noted that this approach of emphasizing the variety of calcium-rich foods in different food groups is not specific to the needs of vegetarians but could be adopted for those who consume nonvegetarian diets as well

For most people, the RDA can quite easily be fulfilled by eating a varied diet with at least several servings of calcium-rich foods each day
Anemia: Overreliance on milk in children can lead to anemia, as milk is very low in iron, and drinking large quantities of it can crowd iron-rich foods from the diet
FOOD IRON RICH ?
Modern History Sourcebook: David Ricardo: The Iron Law of Wages
A selection from Ricardo's book, On Wages, describing the labor theory of value.
The clear and direct tendency of the poor laws is in direct opposition to these obvious principles: it is not, as the legislature benevolently intended, to amend the condition of the poor, but to deteriorate the condition of both poor and rich; instead of making the poor rich, they are calculated to make the rich poor; and whilst the present laws are in force, it is quite in the natural order of things that the fund for the maintenance of the poor should progressively increase till it has absorbed all the net revenue of the country, or at least so much of it as the state shall leave to us, after satisfying its own never-failing demands for the public expenditure
