Sharmin:
Don't be sorry Manal - I didn't have a clue myself - I also mistakenly thought that pomegranates were high in iron - this is how we learn :)
Thank you for the website :hugfriend Sharmin 

Thanks for the information Andy.

Same is the prejudice with apples,i've literally seen many parents stopping their thal kids from eating apples,On my daughter's last transfusion Novartis people came in the hospital to give a presentation about Asunra,when the doctor was telling that you can mix Asunra with apple juice,one of the moms was like "are you crazy? Apple contains so much iron"and when i told her that 100 gram apple contain only 0.12 mg of iron ,she was looking at me like i was really nuts  :rotfl.
I don't know how it got started but we as kids were also told that apple contains high amount of iron,and same went for bananas,both fruits are good source of calcium,magnesium and potassium,along with phosphorus.They don't contain that much iron,infact apples and bananas must  be good for thals.

Zaini.
