This reminds me of the case of the Iron content of Spinach! Popeye and my whole generation ate Spinach to get Iron because someone moved the decimal place to the left when the Agriculture Department printed the test results.
It's not that there isn't iron in spinach, it's just in a form that the body can't use.

That may be true, but the tables said there was ten times more iron in spinach then ther really was.
