Hemochromatosis is a
hereditary disease char-
acterized by inadequate
bodily processing of
dietary iron. It is con-
/it sidered the main iron
/ overload disorder. Other
causes are excess dietary
iron and liver disease. Prob-
lems associated with iron overload
range from malaise to organ dys-
function to heart problems, and, in
extreme cases, even to death.

Some ways to reduce bodily iron:
stop taking iron supplements, eat
less animal sources of iron, reduce
cereals and food bars with iron,
and, if healthy, consider donating
blood. Be aware that vitamin C
taken with meals can increase iron
levels. Most importantly, consult
your health care professional(s).
