[DIYbio] Re: Bioavailable iron tests?

It seems that iron deficiency is a big problem in developing world, and it is tackled with cooking acidic food in iron skillets. I remembered that so I googled, and check out http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/answered-questions/does-cooking-cast-iron-pots-and-pans-add-iron-our-food and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12859709 . It seems that the amount is 0.5 % which is huge much more than what you would need for icp. 

I would suggest to follow the articles and see how they measured though.
