Quotes to ponder:
"Organ meats such as liver are extremely nutritious, containing high amounts of iron and other nutrients."
"Eating foods high in Vitamin C with those high in iron can greatly enhance absorption."
"Avoiding tea and coffee with meals can also be beneficial as the tannins in these beverages can bind to iron and inhibit absorption by as much as 50%."
