I'd like to start a discussion on:
Ray Peat
Studies showing that iron deficiency impairs thyroid function
- The question if iron deficiency is as bad as iron excess.
- The connection between thyroid dysfunction and iron deficiency.
- Determining the optimal intake of iron (i.e. how much mg iron/day, optimal ferritin/transferrin saturation values? Intake by symptoms?)
- The question whether strict anti-absorptive strategies (e.g. coffee after eating meat/liver) are useful for maintaining health.
