# science fact
the myth that guiness gives you iron is wrong.

you'd have to drink 42 pints a day to get any decent amount of iron.

end of science fact.

# well thats silly
iron in ion form is different to iron in solid form, it wont hurt you like a knife! Dear god dont they teach kids anything these days :)

# Heh. It was a sort of metaphor. I do know the difference between matter in different bonding states...
Spinach, for example, is a good source of iron, but not because it has any more than other vegetables, but because it is in a form that is easily taken up by the gut.

edit : seems like I was wrong, iron in vegetables and grain is 'non-haem' (as in, not bound to a haem group like in haemoglobin) so is not taken up easily. Further, oxalates in spinach make it less available. Well, whatever.

# Never drink more than five pints of Guinness on an empty stomach .
This is what happens if you do. However, if you drink loads of Guinness after a good feed you'll end up constipated for a two days.
