LowCarbDownUnder podcast

Iron critical for adult brain function and production of
neurotransmitters…
-iron is a necessary co-factor in work of 2 enzymes
-tyrosine hydroxylase & triptophan hydroxylase
These are responsible for production of
DOPAMINE & SEROTONIN
-in iron deficient state: brain will be low BOTH

RCT study of women aged 18-35…
Start: those iron deficient:
-slower & poorer performing on cognitive tests
-when iron levels RESTORED, test results improved 5 to 7 times

Parents would never knowingly deny their children of iron…
-if they google to see what foods are ‘recommended’?
[Google 'curates' nutrition search results in line with WHO]
"My search found plenty of iron-rich plants...no meat”
Absurd! 2 forms of iron: heme & non-heme
heme iron is FAR MORE BIO-AVAILABLE
-only in meat & seafood
spinach iron is Non-heme
-absorption of iron from
spinach: 2 to 12 %

Unlikely that vitamin C will rescue you..
RCT study: results: "Vitamin C showed NO SUCCESS at
improving the absorption rate of non-heme iron”
Paper: absorption of iron from popular legumes: 1 to 2%
Review: low bio-availability of iron in plants: cause of
high rate of iron deficiency
in vegans & vegetarians:
-3 to 4x greater than avg
"Promoting plants for iron
is criminal...2 billion people
are iron deficient”

Vitamin A found in animals [retinol] is 12 times more
bio-available than beta-carotene A found in plants…
Vitamin D3, from animals, 3 times more effective at raising
D levels than D2, from plants
