Effect of Calcium on Iron absorption...

I wanted to know, once and for all, if calcium had an effect on iron absorption. We usually consume yoghurt with meat, which is our main iron-supply.

This new paper (2010), that takes into account various other studies, concludes:
"calcium in amounts present in many meals inhibits the absorption of both heme and nonheme iron".

Guess we'll have to change this eating-habit of ours...
