we’re all gonna die....
This is the 3rd such article I have read, just today alone.
I guess the government (FDA) wants to regulate this..or tell us we are not allowed to have
Ginger
Elderberry
Cinnamon
Ginseng
Garlic
etc...
I was told 25+ years ago not to take vitamins containing iron supplement.
Funny how all these studies are coming out these days. Women don’t need breast cancer screening, men don’t need PSA tests. Vitimins will kill you.
Almost like the govt wants people to die.
I have a theory that people who drink water tend to die. Can I have a few million dollars to study this?
This is not news.
However, the left just hates supplements (or any decision that one might make themselves), and they're not above torturing epi data in order to make their case.
Also, the term "self reports" can be an indicator of a poorly controlled study.
.
If you have undiagnosed hemochromatosis, taking iron supplements would speed up your demise.
As an “older woman” myself, I do expect to die.....will y’all come to my funeral? LOL!
I've read the same for older men. Copper too. And I've read that iron interferes with the absorption of...a B vitamin?
“I guess the government (FDA) wants to regulate this..or tell us we are not allowed to have Ginger Elderberry Cinnamon

Yep...just the other day they tried to tell us that walnuts are a drug. Don’t you dare do anything to support your own health without permission from the govt (and said permission is NOT forthcoming).
Best way to get nutrition is by eating real food.
I recall the conversation with a research physician. He described that the lower rate of cardiovascular morbidity/mortality in women of child-bearing age may actually be due to monthly blood loss during menstruation, which results in the concurrent loss of iron. His argument was compelling enough that I’ve been taking “Silver” multi-vitamins for more than 25 years. Senior vitamins don’t have iron supplement.
I eat a fair amount of wild-caught fish .... Gotta have my mercury.
Yellow-fin tuna tonight.....Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-e-r-c-u-r-y!!!
Maybe there was a point to the old practice of blood letting. It served to take out the excess iron.
And maybe the real reason why red meat is bad for you has nothing to do with saturated fat but because of all that iron, which may oxidize cholesterol and cause arterial plaque.
I have found that if you are elderly and in a hospital setting every person who passed away had a chair near them.
Clearly there is a direct effect as the chair has -————————— in it.
Too much iron in that luncheon food.
