I actually read 5 to 10 of his texts,also the partly annotated footnotes.
I didnt consider two things.First,that the U.S.A. has iron fortification,in germany,there is no such program.
Also i projected an idea of his belief partly from the "the milk,the oj" Diet,which,despite oysters once a week,
is iron depleted and will produce sickness.Lack of Brain Iron is severely disabling,and once that set in,"Patients"
without capable guidance will incur healthdefects they cant comprehend the point of origin of.
After all,We consume way too much Iron.
Also his references to the dark ages of biology,1920,1950,turn of the last century;these guys didnt know much,
there was just a paucity of data,And Peat had his true formative years ages ago.He is a product of his time,
a time where everything seemed possible,envisioning a new world of possibility.
Fair enough. Even in his article, Peat does state that iron deficiency does exist, but simply is not as common as assumed. And he is correct that it is not the main cause of anemia, especially in industrialized countries.
In general, while Peat does recommend milk and OJ heavily, he does not recommend those items exclusively. He does eat and recommend liver, oysters, and other forms of meat.
As far as Brain Iron, it should be noted that degenerative diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinsons display excess iron in the brain.
