just so you know,
im surrounded by my fathers medical texts (and mothers cook books, the pleasures of cooking is right beside human physiology, its like the bookcase of a cannibal) and currently have the Fundamentals of Clinical Hematology by Leavell and Thorup in my lap as we speak.
if it is DIEt induced anemia, which i doubt it is, (im a doctor you know [Ref. "Strangelove" in the warhol thread]) it may be due to:
1. Nutritional Deficiency--In adults lack of folic acid might be expected to produce anemia.
2. Faulty DIEt- yr hardly a biafrin my dear so we can just skip this.
3. Defective Absorption-- Defective gastric function & the faliure to secrete the intrinsic factor that is essential for the normal absorption of vitamin b12.
4.Excessive demands for erythropoiesis/bone marrow faliure/disease/drugs and or chemicals ETC....
