Description

Highlights the dangers of iron overload, describing it as one of the most toxic mineral imbalances in the body. Excess iron has been linked to serious health conditions, including cancer, liver disease, cardiovascular problems, and neurodegeneration. A key factor in iron dysfunction is often a copper deficiency, since copper plays a vital role in regulating and transporting iron effectively. Many people unknowingly consume too much iron through fortified foods, supplements, and even cooking with cast iron cookware, which can contribute to digestive issues and systemic toxicity. To maintain balance, it is recommended to obtain iron from whole food sources such as red meat and organ meats, which provide not only bioavailable iron but also complementary nutrients. Importantly, what is often diagnosed as iron deficiency anemia may actually be a manifestation of iron mismanagement tied to insufficient copper, rather than a true lack of iron itself.
