Iron Beans?

I was was having beans as a side dish today and realized wow! There is a lot of iron, 40% of your RDA, in a serving (1/2cup)

This is a great source that lists foods with the most iron: http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2005/document/html/appendixB.htm#AppB3

Try adding some iron to prevent symptoms of: Ulcers, hemorrhoids, fatigue, shortness of breath, decreased alertness, anemia, and digestive problems.

"Iron is used to carry oxygen in the blood. Many teenage girls and women in their child-bearing years have iron-deficiency anemia. They should eat foods high in heme-iron (meats) or eat other non-heme iron containing foods along with a food rich in vitamin C, which can improve absorption of non-heme iron." http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/meat_why.html
