So excellent!

I think meat is a big culprit- from own experience. I now do a whole plant based diet with minimal animal products and my health keeps improving all the time.

yeah heme iron is alot more readily absorbed than non heme

[@johnsnow5264]

@@BenRoberts12 That is actually a severe disadvantage as healthy iron levels are very tight in our body. Facilitated uptake makes iron levels shoot up to toxic levels.

[@kerder8660]

I think there connection between hemochromatosis with hypercalcemia.. Could hemochromatosis be created by parathyroid hyper activity bcs blocked enzymes or some channels by calcium
