Answer»

Correct choice is (a) True

To elaborate: Because iron is a requirement for most PLANTS and animals, a wide range of FOODS provide iron. GOOD sources of dietary iron have heme-iron, as this is most easily absorbed and is not inhibited by medication or other dietary components. Three examples are red meat, poultry, and INSECTS. Non-heme sources do contain iron, though it has reduced BIOAVAILABILITY. Examples are lentils, beans, leafy vegetables, pistachios, tofu, fortified bread, and fortified breakfast cereals.
