[QUOTE]Originally posted by rekling: [QB] on the other hand, not all vegetarians are anemic. (contrary to popular belief). my mother insisted for years that i must be anemic (i've been vegetarian for 7 years), since i was always cold and often tired (big surprise, getting no more than 6 hours of sleep a night in adolesence), and didn't take iron supplements. so, when i was at the doctor, she insisted that i get my blood tested. so i did. two weeks later the results came back. i was fine, no anemia, although it wouldn't have hurt me to take some extra iron,i wasn't deficient. within a week, my mother was convinced again that i must be anemic. i think its a way for people to try to convince us that we need to eat meat, to try to scare us about anemia. it *is* possible to get enough iron, even as a vegan. -rek [/QB][/QUOTE]
