absorption. So something like:
lentils + lemon 🍋
is a genuinely sensible combination. The article gets this right.
2. Tea/coffee + iron
This is also legitimate. Tea and coffee contain compounds that can reduce absorption of non-heme iron. It’s particularly relevant if someone has low iron or is taking iron supplements.
But I wouldn’t interpret this as “everyone must wait exactly one hour.” That’s an overly rigid rule.
3. Fat + vegetables
The tomato + olive oil and avocado + salad recommendations have a real nutritional basis because dietary fat can increase absorption of carotenoids
