Hey guys, in this video, we're going to talk about the toxic effect from iron, which is in a lot of

grains, which I know you're not eating, but you probably know people who do. So what they do

with grains, like breads, pasta, cereal, they fortify them in the United States, Canada, and Britain,

and other countries, but not a lot of the European countries. But

anyway, if you're getting exposed to too much iron, it could be a big problem for several reasons.

Number one, iron is attracted to damage tissue in the body. So if you have high levels of

insulin and you have inflammation and you have insulin resistance

and you have problems with the heart, the brain, the kidneys, for example, the nervous system,

well, iron goes into those areas and it oxidizes the tissues, which kind of russes them out.

It just rots them out, just like in your car, you have this rust.

So it oxidizes tissues, including the fat layer around the nervous system and the brain as well.

So these metals accumulate without the ability to get rid of them. So the problem with excess iron is you can only get rid of

like 1.2 milligrams a day. Yet people are getting massive quantities on a daily basis. So it's all going

to the liver and other tissues. The RDAs or the required amounts that we need to prevent a deficiency

would be 8 milligrams. And we do need

some iron, food-based, but we don't need too much of it. But a lot of the supplements have like

18 milligrams, 22 milligrams, way too high. And they're doing that to prevent anemia and things like that. But I recommend

solving anemia with just red meat or other proteins that will have the natural type of iron

in them. Number six, all microbes need iron to survive. Those are good bacteria and microbes and pathogens.

They live on iron. So when your body has an infection, it actually will start to regulate iron

and tighten up the release of iron from the tissues to try to help the immune system work better. And this is why

probiotics are so important because if you have more good bacteria, which will eat more of this iron,
