New I suspect the iron might not -
since males "get rid of excess" only by losing blood. IIRC there are several essays out there on consequences of overdoing Fe in male critters; no idea what the current AMA take is, if any.

Clue may be - "too Much spinach" has entered the vocabulary. As to Who's Right?
Haven't cared enough to run down some corroborations claimed, yet.

Bon appetit.

New I vaguely recall something about plaques and MI.
[link|http://www.clinchem.org/cgi/content/abstract/48/4/622|Yeah]...

Background: Iron may promote coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) by increasing lipid peroxidation. Studies on biochemical or genetic markers of body iron stores as risk factors for CAD have yielded conflicting results.

[...]

No differences in iron markers were found in CAD patients with or without myocardial infarction.

Conclusions: Our results do not support a role for biochemical or genetic markers of iron stores as predictors of the risk of CAD or its thrombotic complications.


Still, I would be very nervous about eating things that are out of the ordinary - especially things which say, in fine print:

FWIW.

Cheers,
