Anaemia can be caused by eating too much spinach or kale. Would you Adam
and Eve it. There was a scientific study but I can't be arsed to find
it. It's a common problem. I would have thought a scientist such as
yourself would have known that. Vegetarians are better off taking it
easy on the leafy stuff and taking supplements. This has been known for
ages. The Popeye stuff is bull****. Google it.
Amazingly the NHS doesn't seem to know this either. Which doesn't
surprise me.
"People give up eating meat and animal products such as milk, cheese,
and eggs for many reasons.
"But doing so may increase the risk of iron deficiency anemia, a
potentially serious condition in which the body does not make enough
oxygen-bearing red blood cells.
"For vegetarians who eliminate meat, anemia can be due to an iron
deficiency. For vegans, who give up all animal products including dairy,
eggs, and even honey, anemia can also be caused by vitamin B12 deficiency."
https://www.everydayhealth.com/anemi...getarians.aspx
"A meatless diet can be healthy, but vegetarians -- especially vegans --
need to make sure they're getting enough vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and
zinc. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics warns of the risk of
vitamin B12 deficiencies in vegetarians and vegans. Vitamin B12 is found
naturally only in animal products."
