Agenda driven: Eat less meat. Eating less cows lowers C)2 levels, etc., etc.
“While correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation...”
EXCEPT of course when it comes to “man-made” gore-bull warming and CO2 emissions.
Non Sequitur.
“After this, therefore because of this.” fallacy. Seems to be very common in the media when covering research.
You could just as easily say that oxygen causes a long life ‘cuz old people breath it and die when they stop doing so. Or water causes a long life ‘cuz real old people drink it.
Depending on the population, might be hereditary hemochromatosis...
Well, the naysayers are posting already. But I am heartened by this news.
Years ago, my doctor told me to cut out blood donations because my iron level was too low!
Your takeaway could be to step up to the bar and give blood regularly in order to reduce your iron level. However, the finding results report that the increased lifespan could be due to how the body metabolized iron and not general iron levels. So “bleeding out slowly” by blood donations might not do you any good.
Yeah, I figured there was a hook in there somewhere. They're pushing an agenda.
No, fact driven. You can eat more meat, just remove blood and you don’t increase iron stores.
There is a much greater correlation between shorter lifespan and the element Pb.
Do a ferritin test. If you have a cold or an infection, ferritin increases. But if ferritin is not increased by something like that, you can deduce your iron stores. Ferritin less than 70 ng/ml is iron deficiency. One blood donation reduces ferritin between 20 and 30.
Bleeding may actually be a cure-all?
Medieval doctors are vindicated!
Coming up next - “If you or a loved one ever took Geritol and died before the age of 90, you may be able to rake it in by joining this class action lawsuit - and we’ll sue the doctor that recommended it too.”
Old news.
Having high iron stores increases free radical damage, and many diseases. It has been known for a long time.
Give blood regularly...esp men and menpopausal women...Transgenders ignore that
Vegetarian propaganda.
Yes, Dr. Jonathan Wright and others have reported this for years
Because iron deficiency exists, you find it hard to believe that iron excess also exists?
