I, too, always thought of iron as something people would be missing often, but as it turns out, conditions related to excessive iron (and estrogen and PUFA) are much more common. Ray's argument, in a nutshell, is that iron-supplemented foods and just about everywhere (due to an excessive worry of providing too little) and this contributes to the overdosing.

- slowmovintarget 8y agoExcept iron deficiency (and resulting anaemia) is much more common in women than in men [1]. Coffee intake should likely be reduced for women with iron deficiency issues, and avoided altogether for children and adolescents. I say this while having my morning coffee.

- jgalvez 8y agoIron deficiency might be the most common of deficiencies worldwide, for sure, but there are very few studies addressing the widespread chronic iron excess in a wide range of daily product consumption in developed countries. So switching your iron sources to hand picked, natural ones while including a moderate amount of coffee in your daily diet (and not taking them together) seems like the way to go for me.
