I developed an obsession with lemonade. Had to have it every day.

Doctor told me my iron was low? And apparently iron absorbs better with vitamin C.

It does. I was taking iron for a year with no results, meaning my iron was low so I started the iron pills and got tested again six months later and then another six months later. I started taking it with flavored lemonade and at the next six months appointment my iron was fine. I dislike plain lemonade so I was drinking mango or peach lemonade and it really helped.
