In Sweden iron pots were used traditionally to make whey products. Now that
those foods are made in factories iron fortification is permitted in order
to make them as nutritious as in the olden days...

  I have come across the following advice given in the well-respected
  book  "Where there is no doctor"

  > "Eggshells that are boiled, finely ground and mixed with food can
  provide needed calcium"
  > "Cooking in iron pots or putting a piece of old iron or horseshoe
  in the pan when cooking.....adds iron to food and helps prevent
  anaemia..........For another source of iron, put some iron nails in a
  little lemon juice for a few hours.  Then make lemonade with the
  juice and drink it."

  I have a background of working as a dietitian in the UK, and have
  never come across this advice before. I wondered whether anybody
  knows whether significant iron/calcium is absorbed through ingesting
  egg shells/ iron
  enriched lemonade/ food cooked in iron pots?  Does anybody use this
  advice?

  Thank you
  Zoe Connor
