Why would iron be in your cereal?

Answer 1

The iron in the cerial is ina bonded state, ie it is no iron as ina nail, but is bound up as a part of many other elemets to make a part of the food.

your liver is like a factory ( and your intestine is the songe that soaks up the things that go to the factory) well the factory has workers that see different place in the body that need new things added and old things replace.

Your lungs are the sponge for things that come from the air, and as you know we need the old oxygen, Don't know about you but i cant go for long wothout a breath.

Puff puff puff, anyway, you know that you cant put air into your veins and expect to not run out of breath that way, besides the old red stuff would all leak out and you would get infections if the body had to do it that way.

And you cant have the oxygen in bubble form in your blood either, i mean you run, you jump you lie down, and all those tubes that are your veins are pointing in different directions.

Take a clear tube, fill it with water 95%, block both ends with your fingers, turn it upside down, and make it into a (and upside down 'u' shape), the air will just collect at the top and not go anywhere.

Now your blood cells, have a chemical in them, just like a custom make towtruck that can carry only one type of car around. This chemical is made just right to carry oxygen in such a way that it will not form bubbles, so as you breath in this part of your blood scopps up the oxygen that passes through your lungs and goes and dumps it in the places where your body is doing somthing.

Now those blood tow trucks work pretty hard, and have to be replaced, so all the time there are orders sent to the factory for more iron to build new ones, So your liver say, OH thank you, that was great cerial,yum lots of iron, i will send that iron down to the bulding yard which is inside your bones ( the marrow) ( that's another factory) and shortly out come brand new oxygen carrying tow trucks, and rememeber that the only truck the will carry the oxygen around in your body is the one in the bllod that has that tiny little bit of iron attached.

Answer 2

Iron is found in many foods such as dark green veggies and red meat. It is essential to have iron in your bloodstream to carry oxygen to your different body parts. Cereal companies add iron and other vitamins and minerals to their products because most breakfast cereals contain very little nutrients besides carbohydrates. When you see "fortified with 23 vitamins and blahblahblah" it means that vitamins were added.
