How can you detect iron in juices?
You can detect iron in juices by mixing strong tea with any type of juice you want to test. If the juice precipitates, then it definitely contains iron. If it doesn't precipitate, then it does not contain iron. If you don't know then you don't know. It's simple really, I tried this procedure before, and it worked.
How do you test fruit juice for iron?
In one set of experiments that has appeared, iron may be precipitated from dark types of fruit juice (those with a weak acid pH) by adding strong tea. The exact procedures used were not immediately available. The easiest way to see if iron is present is to consult a juice guide. Iron may be added to commercial juice products, and will be displayed on its labeling. (see related link)

What nutrients plays an important role in preventing anemia?
Iron, mostly. But in order for iron to be absorbed, vitamin C is necessary. Absorption of iron is inhibited by natural substances found in tea or coffee, so people with iron deficiency anaemia should avoid tea and coffee for half an hour before taking the iron or iron-rich food. As vit C is needed for iron to be absorbed, it would be best to have tomato juice or orange juice or any other vit C rich drink when you take your iron tablet or eat an iron-rich meal. Vit B6 and Vit B12 are also necessary for red blood cell formation.
Why do the tea particles spread out quicker in hot water then cold water?
This can be explained using particle theory. The hotter the water is, the more energy the water has. The more energy the water has, the more its particles will move. Therefore, the the hotter water is, the more its particles move. Because the particles move more and faster, they 'bump into' more tea particles, which causes the tea particles to move more. The more the tea particles move, the quicker they will spread through the water and the quicker they can diffuse.
