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.
