generally eating a lot of meat will not cause the iron stores in your body to go too high that is a fallacy dr. Mercola was worried about it but I do not see it it could happen in the rare situation where somebody had hemochromatosis but you wouldn't know if you had that or you should know if you have not been checked for that and your iron is off or your keratin is very high then you should be checked for that but ferritin mine stays around 200 meaning I have plenty of iron stored because I'm eating lots of iron in meat but our bodies have a way to get rid of excess iron they do this normally through the intestines we slough off the cells we can buy an iron in our small intestinal epithelial cells and then slough them off if you eat a lot of iron it will not just accumulate and go rampant and cause oxidative stress like many people suggest yep the absorption and excretion are both nicely homeostatic Li regulated our body does a nice job there yeah
