I just read on on Wholefoods site an interesting fact that I had a hard time believing, if not for the seemingly reputable site.
When you eat Beets, if your urine is reddened, it's a probable cause of a disorder in your body metabolising iron! Apparently it happens to 10 to 15% of people.
Wow, I always thought that was completely normal! In fact, my dog also urinated a red tint when I serve him beets.
So, I do have a problem with iron. Very good to know.
If you visit the site you may be interested in seeing how sweet potato is good for you! I googled 'nutritional value of sweet potato' and it brought me directly to the nutritional value page.
Just sharing!
