This surprises me no end ...... I have been interested in your quest for
things high in Iron. As I have grown older , I have had a hard time
keeping up my iron to donate blood as often as I use to. The Red Cross
told me last summer to eat raisins. Since I didn't like the liver she
first suggested. I have been doing this and not been turned down to
donate blood since. hugs, kate
