Now that results of the Nutrition Canada survey have been released, we have evidence of dietary problems which Canadians must overcome. One important problem indicated was the low level of iron in the body, and in the diets of a large number of Canadians. Iron is a mineral which is essential for the formation of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. These cells carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. A lack of iron results in iron-deficiency anemia. Women and children need more iron than men, but Nutrition Canada found that a large proportion of all groups have an iron deficit. Important sources of iron in the diet include liver - especially pork liver, kidney, heart, tongue, all meats, legumes, green vegetables, dried fruits, whole grain or enriched cereals and breads, prepared infant cereals, molasses and egg yolks. The variety meats - liver, kidney, heart and tongue - are less expensive meats, yet one serving is an excellent source of iron. Even if the family will not eat variety meats, you can increase iron in their diets by using more of the iron-rich foods alone or in combination. For example, a date bread combines several iron-rich ingredients - dates, molasses, eggs and enriched flour. <1mn 21s>
