The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

during inflammation ferritin can rise
sometimes when you're highly inflamed the ferritin can be completely elevated even if you're not taking iron and kind of masking that
ferritin is an acute phase react and so it's it's just further down the web
fertin is also what is known as an acute phase reactant and what that means is anytime inflammation is present in the body you will see fertin levels rise and they will rise independent of iron levels
if a person has an infection for example their fertin level can be high even if they are deficient in Iron similarly if a person is chronic inflammation their fertin level will be elevated as will other acute phase reactants such as C-reactive protein even while total body stores of iron remain low
