I...What do you *think* my thoughts are, Ed? ;-)<br />I've been low carb since 2003, and I'm still hangin' around here on the planet.

I think Tucker Goodrich might have written about this in the past. I would search his blog and see if anything comes up. Or consider contacting him privately to see what info he can share. I'm pretty sure he's done some research on this topic: http://yelling-stop.blogspot.com/Tuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-7080733239564867022018-11-18T16:23:41.101-05:002018-11-18T16:23:41.101-05:00Hi Amy,
I have a request for a topic that I'd...Hi Amy,<br /><br />I have a request for a topic that I'd like your opinion on; (but preferably in a blog post, if possible?) I'm one of those people who prefers to read rather than watch....<br /><br />The topic is ferritin. There are some in the Low Carb community, as well as the Paleo community- (and some of them are doctors)- who claim that a blood ferritin level above about 50 (or 60 or 70; they all have different opinions), is unhealthy. By conventional standards, ferritin is still considered "normal" even up to 200 (for women) or 250 (for men- not sure if these numbers are 100% accurate, but it's something like that). Anyway, my ferritin is 114, which is well within the conventionally normal range, so my doctor is not worried about it; in fact, he says it's optimal. (But these anti-ferritin people claim that the medical community is as yet unaware of the so-called problems with moderate ferritin, like mine). I am exempt from donating blood, due to not just one, but several reasons, so that option is out. I eat low carb, and I like eating meat; I feel good eating this way, so I don't necessarily want to change. But there is the fear that I may have health problems down the road- (according to these "low ferritin pushers", heart disease and cancer could ensue if the ferritin level is higher than about 60). Since you've debunked many of the other mythical "problems" of meat consumption- (thanks for that, by the way)- I'd be curious to know what you think about this topic? Is it all bunk, and should I just ignore it? I have, actually, tried to lower my ferritin level (without donating blood, since I can't) but it didn't work.
