Answer 1

dogs eat bone marrow, i dont know what that indicates, that's all i know about it.

Answer 2

U mean Bestik Tulang? I dont normally eat that, but ever eaten it before. I just dont like the taste.

Answer 3

bone marrow is very healthy. it is loaded with minerals like iron. it's got some fat in it, but a healthy kind. as long as you eat it in proportion it should be fine.

Answer 4

I never heard of this, but if you've already been eating it with no ill effects, it must be alright. As for it being healthy, I assume you're eating it in moderation. That's always the best rule with anything.

Answer 5

Yes, it's loaded with iron and B-vitamins....

The reason it has so much iron is because bone marrow is where all blood cells are made/produced by all animals and humans. Blood cells are very rich in iron.

If you've ever tasted your own blood you know that it has an "iron" taste.
