Research seems to indicate normal bee pollen and fermented have the same amount of copper. Different reason to consume fermented?

Bioavailability.

πŸ‘πŸ‘

I have both bee pollen and raw honey. Will give this a try 🫑

Market opportunity too. Very little good bee bread out there. Kind of amazing considering it's benefits.

The problem there is the market knows nothing about it πŸ˜‚

Same issue with propolis. Need to educate people and then sell them the product

You are right - most bee bread on the market is dehydrated and inert. There’s a new company out of Mexico though called Beeghee keeping the fermentation alive and it tastes amazing.

They put iron shavings in some cereals and other foods. Can separate them with a magnet.

They put alot of elemental iron in prenatals too. Folate well.

Thats why jaundiced babies with tongue ties are so common these days.

Have you ever watched any of Dr. Joel Wallach's talks that discuss the relationship between pre-natal nutrition and birth defects?

No plz link

What do you recommend in place of cast iron pans?

Clad stainless barring no nickel issues.

Enamel cast iron has a place, as does ceramic coated for gentle cookong (eggs).

I can't imagine your getting that much iron from a cast iron pan. Especially an old one that been well seasoned.

"Cast iron pots /kettles"

I'm convinced pans leach much elemental iron after being seasoned either.

Would make for a good experiment, tho.
