Question:

can nails give you iron?

is it true that during the war people used to put iron nails into apples to increase the iron content and then eat the apples??

Answer:

I'm not sure about the nails in the apple bit but I do know that cast iron skillets are supposed to add iron to the foods cooked in them. I read that it was only trace amounts but with consistent use the skillets could help an iron deficiency. I found a link to the information, it is below. The tetanus thing might be true with a rusty nail. I'm reluctant to do the whole nail into food thing myself. :) About the lead poisoning. only if the nail was lead.
yes. this is called nailing the apple. if you are a lady you should pierce the apple with three nails to represent the sin of Eve on mankind and therefore Jesus on the cross.
the mans takes the nails and then the mans puts the nails in the apples then the mans takes the apples with the nails and eats the apples with the nails and has the iron from the nails in the apple in the belly of the mans. and the leads nails thems noone uses thems if they are made out of lead the nails then the lead is bendy in the nails and the nails are bendy. that's why the mens always gets the iron nails for the things because the bendy nails are bad.
