.....what type of anemia?

Folate deficiency

vit B 12 def (macrocytosis)as the source is meat & its products but usually tales longer time >2-3 yrs to present

an iron-poor diet (iron def anemia)

I think it is Folic acid defeciency...

vit C deficiency

_ yep, agree with cd45: Tea and Toast diet cause vit C deficiency.

I don`t know what to pick if I come across this question ..but UW and this above book say that it is Folic acid??????

yes all of the above :
vit C deficiency
B12
ETC
COLLECTIVELY IT IS MORE THAN ONE VITAMIN deficiency
NO ONE IS GOING TO ASK YOU TO CHOOSE .

I already had enough of Vitamin'U '('U'smle for today...hahhahhaha)


Goodnight everybody and thanks for those questions...
