Hemochromatosis - an inherited metabolic iron disorder - is one of
modern medicine@s greatest oversights. For people with metabolic
iron disorders, controlling the intake of iron contributes to
wellness and the prevention of such chronic diseases as:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Liver disease
- Impotence
- Depression
The Hemochromatosis Cookbook is
written specifically for those who suffer from such iron disorders.
It has chapters on all of the traditional categories found in most
cookbooks: appetizers, salads, fruits and vegetables, main courses
and casseroles, breads and muffins, and desserts.
In addition, The Hemochromatosis
Cookbook provides:
- Easy-to-prepare, reasonably priced recipes that impede the
body@s absorption of iron
- Food values and tips suggesting substitutions for reduced fat,
sodium, and sugar
- Helpful menu planning for busy schedules, cooking for company,
or cooking for two
- Diet plans for a typical week, including meals that can be
prepared ahead of time and frozen
- A shopping checklist with reminders about iron content
- A chart showing the iron contents of common foods and vitamin
supplements
- A general explanation of iron imbalances, such as hereditary
hemochromatosis, acquired iron overload, and anemia
