Taking Apple Cider Vinegar With Honey, Have Chronic Sinus Infection, Low Iron Level. Why?
Hi I started taking 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar with honey in 8 oz of water twice a day to help with chronic sinus infections ( 4 months ago). My doctor ran blood work because I seem to be cranky and a little more tired. He said my iron is at 15 which is very low. My question is - can the apple cider vinegar be causing the low iron? Tks
