Thanks for posting this easy to understand article.

Back in the Paleolithic, iron deficiency was probably uncommon (Eaton et al 1999).

That’s because the Paleolithic diet included

• animal muscle tissue (from mammals, birds, fish, and/or shellfish)

There is actually more iron in mammal and bird organs (liver, kidney and heart) than there is in mammal and bird muscle. See this link :

Nice article, thanks.

i was thinking the same thing :). not sure why the author didn’t mention that in such a well-researched article or the chart she links to at the bottom?
