BEST SELLER EtiR NOV Ei1S 424 Main St. Exeter (519)235.1331 Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello If you take an iron supplement, it is best to take it on an empty stomach. Taken with food can reduce the amount of iron absorbed by 30-50%. Remem- ber, iron can turn the stools black... a normal occur- rence. Breast-feeding the new born child is important. Besides the advantages of convenience and speed, it is good for the baby. Since baby's intes- tines are immature, they digest the nutrients in breast milk easier. Mom's milk contains antibodies that protect the child from bacteria and allergies. Less diarrhea, too. Try to continue for at least 9 months. Can eating cheese help prevent tooth decay? Cavities result when cer- tain foods "ferment" in the mouth causing cavity -producing acids. Cheeses have less acid -causing potential and the best cheeses in this regard are blue, Brie, mozzarella, cheddar, Jack and Swiss. Blonds may have more fun but they also have more hair. Studies show that blonds have 140,000 hairs on their head while brunettes have 115,000 and redheads have 80,000. By the way, those hairs grow about 1/2 inch per month. HillonApothecary Ltd.
