Hemochromatosis Cookbook (PagePerfect NOOK Book)

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
