reds Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Me of gluten free, iron count 7 (should be 15), and also needing calcium, I had an interesting appointment with the dietician. I've just been reading the foods high in iron sheet and on it is chocolate - any kind. Now I never knew that!! Not a particular fan of chocolate it has to be said but I thought that would make a nice justification for some more munching!

buddyboy Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Cocoa Beans, Beans, let's just call it a vegetable don't forget it is made with milk, therefore calcium, therefore extra good for your bones. (please don't come along and spoil the illusion anyone!) Edited May 14, 2009 by buddyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spins4me Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thanks for the dietary information. Having just eaten quite a lot of choc for my lunch I can now stop feeling guilty and feel slightly healthier instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one.eyed.dog Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I am the exact opposite of you lot. Give me liver over chocolate any day. I hate chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 That's interesting. I wonder if that's why it disagrees with me then as stuff with iron in normally does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
