Re: [fast5] Was: Fatty Liver NOW: Iron

I'm not sure what to make of the anemic people either,
in our culture (which is a pretty high-iron culture). There
is a case where high ferritin stores actually CAUSE
anemia though, so it's not clear to me that having a lot
of ferritin means you have a good amount of hemoglobin.
The "iron count" in your blood isn't the same thing as
stored ferritin.
