Re: Flora & Bone Broth--lemon vs. vinegar

[Guest guest]

Why wouldn't lemon juice work? Isn't it the acidity that does the leaching? and

I think lemon juice is usually more acidic than vinegar.

Re: Iron Absorption Problem - Flora & Bone Broth

I don't think so. Lemon doesn't leach the bones of it's nutrients (ie

calcium, etc.). But I find that the tiny little bit used in that

whole big pot doesn't bother my stomach at all, whereas I'm usually

pretty sensitive. And I haven't heard any cancer patients

complaining, not even the ones who can barely eat because everything

upsets them. But, yes, I know vinegar is an avoid. We just classify

this recipe as a healing recipe and use it as such. It's not an

everyday recipe.
