Are Canadians getting enough iron in their diets? What is the difference in bioavailability of the two kinds of iron? Why is measuring and assessing iron intake in clients difficult?
Sign up today to listen and question Dr. Marcia Cooper on the role of dietary iron in the Canadian diet.
Marcia has worked extensively on the development of a Food Iron Bioavailability Index (FIBI) – an index which provides heme and non-heme values for foods in the Canadian Nutrient File. This index can help approximate bioavailable iron for specific foods.
