  Unfortuantely nothing I can do to keep it from rising. So giving blood is the only way to reduce the levels atm. Only thing you can do is reduce the amount it increases with a bit of a diet change, cutting down on meat and alcohol especially. And eating certain things that helps your body deal with iron more efficantly, like dark chocolate… I get to use the line, “my doctor told me to have this after every meal” 😂

  So yeah you can’t when your iron levels are too high but when it goes down to normal levels you can become a regular donator, which then helps keep the levels down.

  With my super iron blood I can then donate blood every 8 weeks instead of the normal 12. If I am remembering that right.

  Huh interesting, as someone who has to bloodlet regularly… nice to know my PFAS levels should be a bit lower.

  Hmmm only have had a quick look but from a brief look into trying to find out who harvardpublichealth actually are, not sure I trust anything what they say not to be some political/medical propaganda.

  Lets not forget they put all the data in an excel spreadsheet and then lost a lot. So yeah best public health data in the world… very much arguable.
