Minerals important for good health.

Steve, good link on iron rich veggie foods, it would appear that, in relation to how much you can eat usually of one single food, lentils top the list, then soybeans, tofu, spinach, sunflower seeds.

Cocoa powder, unsweetened and processed with alkali, the usual commercial product, is extremely rich in iron= 15 mg per 100 grams.

One abundant tablespoon is 1 mg. I'm an heavy consumer of such cocoa powder, usually mixed with water and honey

One cup soymilk with 2 tablespoons cocoa powder would contain 3.5 mg of iron, which is, considering homeostasis, nearly the daily needed value for an adult male.

No need to ingest supplements!!

Trust me.  I know a thing or two about liking people, and in time, after much cocoa powder,chocolate and cake, 'like' turns into 'what was his name again?

Mad as a hatter, is that maybe the effect of added sugar in chocolate and cake? I strongly advise against the ingestion of such foods.

You mean you can’t take less it’s very easy to take more than nothing. The Dormouse would repudiate you on no uncertain terms.

All that your saying may have truth to it. But I just can't make my stomach into an acquarium with bottom crawlers scraping along the inside. Besides who is going to clean this acquarium?

Daemoon, oysters are a rich food and, indeed, some nutrition experts suggest it to vegans who might be afraid to develop some deficiencies.

Personally, I find I cannot eat animals who were alive, even though their nervous system is very basic. I also cannot eat fish oil, I'm sorry about the fish and like it swimming in the ocean.
