How too much iron could be wrecking your manhood

Thank you for the video :) Will get straight to reducing fat and iron as soon as I finish this cream donut 😂 I'm just joking! Love this channel!

I know that zink can be an iron antagonist and it is also supposed to help with, "male fertility."I wonder if it partly act to help with male fertility partly through it's antagonistic action against Iron.

Maybe.... zinc does seem to increase testosterone levels, both in men and women - I don't think "they" know why. I will do a little digging.

​Zinc Motif at the center of steroid sysnthesis. Also, Zn is a reasonable aromatse inhibitor. Great topic for another video 😊​@@Betterbodychemistry

In the USA, white flour and white rice are fortified with iron. Breakfast cereals have ridiculous amounts of iron, from 60% to 90% of the RDA in one serving, and the servings are probably smaller than what most people actually eat. Some studies have concluded that iron overload drives insulin resistance, which could be one reason Americans are so fat.

You make such a good point. In my opinion iron is a key player in insulin resistance. Not sure it actually the start of the problem, but once insulin levels are high : morning, noon and night, the ability to tightly regulate iron absorption is gone. So excess dietary iron, particularly in the form of iron salts, is going to be a problem. In terms of fortification, we have a similar situation in South Africa. Maize meal and flour are fortified with 8 different things......... among them iron. South Africa (a country where a huge number of people go to be hungry every night) is considered among the fattest in the world.

Sigh. So many people are eating cereals, especially kids. It's sad.
