Granny's gone and done it again

It is so expensive.

Not as expensive as poor health. What are his broken teeth costing, not just in dollars and cents, but in the pain he's going through? Good nutrition is the foundation of good health.

heme occurs naturally in every animal and plant.

It's a component of hemoglobin and carries iron to our tissues. It's essential for life and animal protein contains a lot of it. But so does soy and every other plant. It's not only present in meat.

Heme iron is found in animal flesh, such as meat, poultry, and seafood. Non-heme iron is found in plant foods, such as whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and leafy greens.

Surely it's not a patch of his soda and candy.

It would be much healthier to make your own drink without all those nasty seed oils and manmad vitamins.

It is non-heme in plants. I will eat the meat

Robert has to have some way of getting nutrients he can't get from foods he can't eat.

He eats beef jerky. That is good for him.

I have no idea what heme or turkey ham is.

Heme is the molecule that carries iron

Where,when will you get a new pup? Sure wish you could have got one of Sallys.

I sent an email to the breeder of Yuri but haven't heard back yet. May have to give him a call in the new year.

You're right, but too much may not be a good thing:

High heme intake is associated with increased risk of several cancers, including colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and lung cancer. Likewise, the evidence for increased risks of type-2 diabetes and coronary heart disease associated with high heme intake is compelling.

He eats beef sticks. No jerky now because of his teeth but he loves meat. He eats a lot of protein and not much of anything else. He never eats fruit and seldom a veggie. He wont eat ham, turkey or some chicken. It has to be fried. No pork except bacon. He eats tuna, deviled ham sandwiches. Canned corn beef, spam....
