Research is going on into getting rid of unwanted iron in dopamine producing cells. Has anyone considered reducing iron in their diet?

We all need a certain amount of Iron in the diet for healthy blood, I think many of us will not be over whelmed by following a normal diet. Requirements for women are higher than men (women need twice the amount around 15 mgms a day men half that)

Reducing Iron below the recommended levels will eventually lead to anaemia.

and could result in illness.

Pernicious anemia looks like PD anyhow--Interesting - I have always had difficulty digesting iron..hmmm..
