My B6 Adventure continued

My B6 adventure continued with me doing more research, and it didn't take me long to find this listing of foods that contain B6.

Chickpeas, canned, 1 cup	1.1	55
Beef liver, pan fried, 3 ounces	0.9	45
Tuna, yellowfin, fresh, cooked, 3 ounces	0.9	45
Salmon, sockeye, cooked, 3 ounces	0.6	30
Chicken breast, roasted, 3 ounces	0.5	25
Breakfast cereals, fortified with 25% of the DV for vitamin B6	0.5	25
Potatoes, boiled, 1 cup	0.4	20
Turkey, meat only, roasted, 3 ounces	0.4	20
Banana, 1 medium	0.4	20
Marinara (spaghetti) sauce, ready to serve, 1 cup	0.4	20

Its pretty apparent that chickpeas will become part of my diet, if I am to strengthen my lymphocyte count.

And for those who haven't been following my blog, lymphocytes contain T cells, which are programmed cancer fighters. Its a risky business when your t cell production has dropped like mine has.

Here's the recommended daily requirement chart for B6
