Vegans are often depicted as pale, weak and anemic due to the lack of meat in our diet. But is iron deficiency really an issue on a plant-based diet? In this interview with Dr. Michael Greger of Nutriotionfact.org, we look at the difference between heme and non-heme iron, which is better for our bodies, and what food sources contain ideal dietary iron.
