If you have been diagnosed with hemachromatosis, which is a genetic condition that makes the body store iron to potentially dangerous levels, then therapeutic phlebotomies are the best treatment. Basically, go to the nearest blood bank and give a pint every two months. You even get a free T shirt for your donation.
I read a publication that measured stored iron and triglyceride levels.
They found that people who have slightly more iron than necessary have higher triglycerides and longer waist circumference. So, even if one has a small amount of unnecessary iron, it’s beneficial to remove it. Almost every man who consumes chocolate or meat has unnecessary iron.
I donate blood every two years.
If blood ferritin is less than 70 ng/ml, the person has an iron deficiency.
Almost every man (or woman) who consumes chocolate or meat has unnecessary iron.

I’m screwed. I thought chocolate was a food group.
