Product Description
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

Highly Recommend, Jun 7 2009

This review is from: Hemochromatosis Cookbook (Paperback)
I bought this book for my daughter's boyfriend that was diagnosed with hemochromotosis quite a few years back. He along with my daughter are thrilled with the book (he's the cook). In the first part of the book there is a deep enough explanation of the disorder that is written in layman's terms.When it first arrived, I flipped through and was quite surprised at how many recipes are in it and was amazed at how many recipes called for tea.
It seems to have opened up a new world for him. He eats well, sticks to the diet and has been exercising. The last time I saw him he looked like he was in tip-top shape. Of course he still goes for his blood-letting sessions, but he has also taken charge of his diet and overall health.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that has this disorder or has a loved one that does. Great gift item!

facts about iron, and recipes, Aug 10 2008
By Rusty - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hemochromatosis Cookbook (Paperback)
I would have liked to see the tuna salad recipe on page 109. Page 109 has a duplicate of the potato salad recipe on page 108. I wrote the publisher and got another copy of potato salad.Overall, the information is helpful and the recipes a good mixture of easy and more complicated. The nutrition breakdown for each one is very useful.

bought this book for a friend of mine who was diagnosed with hemochromatosis. We both found it loaded with information on the disease, diagnosis, and many recipes to help reduce the amount of iron in the food that we eat. Great resource.
Listmania!
