"Most" doesn't mean "only". Non-heme iron is real, I promise. No, it means that the Non-heme is less bioavailable i.e less efficiently absorbed from the body.

- moate 8y agoIf I give you 100G of iron at 10% bioavailabilty , and Tom 10G at 100% absorption, who absorbed more iron? If you insist on reading the statement as "this burger has non-heme iron at quantities comparable to heme iron in meat that will also be just as bio-available" then yes, it's impossible. However, I was trying to point out that there are several ways of reading that statement without it being marketing doublespeak. TL;dr- I think we're arguing different points here.
