No Iron is supplements? Why?
There have been numerous mentions of taking supplements WITHOUT iron, and it
is mentioned in the Atkins book, but I can't see any reason why. Is there a reason Iron free supplements are suggested? GT |

I asked the same question a few months ago. It seems that most people eat a lot of iron-containing foods while low-carbing. Things like beef and spinach. Vitamins containing iron could cause an excess, which isn't good. I lean more toward chicken for my meals, and my hemoglobin is usually pretty low. So, I choose a multi-vitamin/mineral which contains iron. Carol -- 226/201/150 http://photos.yahoo.com/carol_arie/ Atkins since January 26, 2003 Type 2 Diabetic since May 15, 2001 |

Is there a reason Iron free supplements are suggested? The foods you are supposed to be eating (dark green veggies. in the main, but also red meat, including many organ meats) on any low carb diet are more than enough. http://www.calpoison.org/public/iron.html http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddise...osis/index.htm revek |

CONSTIPATION !!!
Another reason might be iron storage (or overload) disease, also known as hemochromatosis. This is the most common genetic disease in the US, and often goes undiagnosed. Bob L.
