If you eat chocolste or meat, I suggest you donate blood once every two years. I think that’s unlikely to cause a deficiency.
If you get a blood test for iron stores, you will know more precisely how much you can reduce iron without causing a deficiency.
Groups at higher risk of getting severe covid have higher amount of iron stores.
This is very interesting...I did some research 15yrs or so ago
involving very strong pulsed magnetic fields in the range of 2T-5T applied very close to the cranium.
The magnetic strength was similar to the strength of the static magnetic field of MRI machines. The short pulses induced tiny currents in brain matter, the static field of
an MRI does not do that since the field is not varying.
These minuscule traces of iron may have been a factor in the results. It was not known at the time, at least it was not understood that iron might exist in this magnitude in the tissues.
Around the same time studies were being conducted using strong ultrasonic pulses to see if that could fracture neural plaque...
I hope that someday soon research will yield viable treatments for the scourge that is Alzheimer’s, I will
always remember witnessing my Grandmothers slow destruction from this horrifying disease :-/
A penny for your thoughts.
It’s a dime, now. Inflation.....................
I was once a CAT Scanner tech.............................
I remember when the CAT scan equipment was so expensive that it was housed in tractor-trailer rigs and would be driven from Hospital to Hospital to do scans.
Now tinkerers over on HackADay make simple CAT scan equipment at home :-)

Actually that was a response to a GOVERNMENT ‘rule’.
The government, in its infinite stupidity, dictated that the hospitals could not buy a CAT Scan if there was one within , IIRC 200 miles. This was to ‘keep costs down’ or so they claimed at the time.
It actually drove costs up.
The ‘law’ was supported by GE, then the major manufacturer of CAT Scanners at the time.
Surprise, surprise, surprise...............
The mobile units were to get around that edict by saying the hospitals were renting the machines, not buying them...................
Aluminum pots and pans were just awful! I remember once on a camping trip I tried to fry an egg in a small aluminum skillet...I ended up with about a teaspoon full of egg..the rest was permanently affixed to the pan :-( Even cooking oil sticks to those damned aluminum pans!
A very technical document at this link but there is a very defined connection between increased uptake of Aluminum and it’s impact on Iron assimilation and connection to Alzheimers. Amyloid plaque that encases the brain has ben referred to as a defensive response as all of the blood at some time passes through it and excessive accumulation of Iron to me is a “tell” that something else is going on in the body
Go to pages 25-26 for an initial conclusion that will open your eyes I hope, but to me in my research and work in caregiving and Elderly population maladies points at the increase in use and absorption of Aluminum (acid reflux meds including antacid OTC products) is a key element

Look at the label....contains Phosphoric acid
Used widely in the semi-conductor and flat panel industries to etch aluminum.
I used a ton of maalox in the 80s
Worked at an RC Cola bottling plant in the 1980’s and every once in a while, a bottle would break on a pallet. Pull the pallet out to clean and the finish of the concrete floor was taken off. The warehouse was dotted with hundreds of spots.
