iron

An updated version of this web page is now available at the new Teen Witch website iron.

    Iron is a nutritionally important mineral and a chemical element.

nutritional information:

    IMPORTANCE: Its major function is to combine with protein and copper in making hemoglobin.  Hemoglobin transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the tissues which need oxygen to maintain basic life functions. Iron builds up the quality of the blood and increases resistance to stress and disease. It is also necessary for the formation of myoglobin which is found only in muscle tissue. Myoglobin supplies oxygen to muscle cells for use in the chemical reaction that results in muscle contraction. Iron also prevent fatigue and promotes good skin tone.

    DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS: May result in weakness, paleness of skin, constipation, anemia.

    “Fortifying foods with iron does not significantly affect zinc absorption”, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health. “However, large amounts of iron in supplements (greater than 25 mg) may decrease zinc absorption, as can iron in solutions. Taking iron supplements between meals will help decrease its effect on zinc absorption.”

    “Zinc toxicity has been seen in both acute and chronic forms”, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health. “Intakes of 150 to 450 mg of zinc per day have been associated with low copper status, altered iron function, reduced immune function, and reduced levels of high-density lipoproteins (the good cholesterol). One case report cited severe nausea and vomiting within 30 minutes after the erson ingested four grams of zinc gluconate (570 mg elemental zinc).”

    Seniors should have less than 9 mg of iron a day, especially if postmenopausal or have heart disease.

    Sources of iron include: beans, black pudding, broccoli, brown rice, cocoa, figs, haggis, lentils, lettuce, molasses, nuts, parsley, peanuts, peas, seaweed, shellfish, soy beans, sunflower seeds, wheatgerm, wholegrains, wholegrain rice, and wild rice.

    Additional sources of iron (that should be avoided because they are animal products) include: meat, and offal.

    Contrary to popular belief, spinach is actually not a good source of iron. See the article on spinach for details.

Stop corporate Blood Libel!!!
Take action for Witches Rights!!!

    The state of California claims that Witches don’t have the same equal protection under the law as Jews and Blacks!
    The Blood Libel is the false claim made by the Inquisitions, Witch Hunts, and Witch Trials that supposedly Witches (the Inquisitions, Witch Hunts, and Witch Trials) and Jews (the Inquisitions), who supposedly were extremely ugly with large noses, supposedly kidnapped Christian babies and children (supposedly Witches lured them with offers of herbal candies), supposedly raped Christian babies and children (including oral and anal sodomy), supposedly tortured Christian babies and children, supposedly murdered Christian babies and children by baking or cooking them, and then supposedly committed canabilism by eating the cooked bodies of Christian babies and children.
    The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing claims that Ralphs grocery Company (part of Kroger) has the right to engage in the Blood Libel. The DFEH said it would take action against the Blood Libel aimeed at Jews, but not when aimed at Witches.
    If you are against the Blood Libel, please contact California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Call 916-445-2841 now. Or e-mail the Governor (choose “Fair Employment and Housing” from the subject menu). Those outside of the U.S. can write a letter to: the Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, State Capitol Building, Sacramento, CA 95814, USA. Please be very polite.
    Read the Blood Libel web page for more information on the history of the Blood Libel in the Inquisition, Witch Hunts, Witch trials, and Burning Times.
