There are significant numbers of people that regularly blood let, blood donors (about 6 times a year for those that keep at it).
They tend to have less heart attacks (but it isn't clear if that is due to the health screenings required to donate or if there is some impact from the blood letting).
(I do realize there is another group of people that regularly lose iron, but that isn't an optional medical procedure)
