Iron Deficiency, Athletes, and Vegans

This topic has become interesting to me recently.  Here are some links.

What Every Vegetarian Needs to  Know about Iron, at the No Meat Athlete website.

Iron in the Vegan Diet, at the Vegetarian Resource Group website.  "Both calcium and tannins (found in tea and coffee) reduce iron absorption. Tea, coffee, and calcium supplements should be used several hours before a meal that is high in iron."

Iron Status and Exercise, at the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition website.
