Should you be worried that the iron from plant based foods isn't absorbed as well as the iron from red meat?
As vegans, we're often told that we should be eating red meat because heme iron is absorbed better than non heme iron.
In today's podcast episode, I talk about why the fact that we absorb iron from meat better than vegan foods isn't necessarily a good thing, and can in fact lead to serious health complications.
I also explain how dietary guidelines have actually already taken the lower absorption rates into consideration, and why everyone - even omnivores - are supposed to be getting most of their iron from vegan sources!
