Hi Sharie, 

Why people in Africa? Was there a lack of people with iron deficiencies in the 
USA or Europe?  Probably some sort of experimentation with a little "extra" 
something added.

The article states only one "researcher".  It would be good to see more 
evidence or such studies. . One case of Agaria is does not make a case against 
CS...or does it.. I looked for more studies citing similar conclusion to the 
article but found few if any.  One mentioned iron deficiencies of a study done 
on children in Vietnam and Australia.

I find this researchers statement highly suspect.

Would be a good to research these studies and who performed these studies.
