"Try X!" Not if you're young, old, or male and eat a Western diet. smh. Look at the DALY of iron-deficient anemia, which I had growing-up; it's very low compared to many other conditions, it's noticeable, and easily treatable. Iron overload, OTOH, is a much bigger problem because there is no direct, excretory pathway for iron to take. You're suggesting a much more harmful panacea to prevent a hypothetical risk. That's the definition of insanity, ignorance, or both.
