I don't recall the details, but I know that excessive iron intake is thought in some medical quarters to be quite harmful - perhaps to some flavors of people, if not to all. I see that many commercial multivitamin products make a point of emphasizing they're IRON FREE. The multi I take, a very pricey super-duper-everything (9 pills per day!) offering of the Life Extension Foundation, has no iron at all among the roughly 150 things in it. I think it has something to do with burdening the liver, but I'm not sure. Eric?
