Is this common food additive giving you cancer?

There’s a health crisis that gets ZERO attention from the mainstream, and I mean absolutely NONE.

Odds are, this letter… right now… is the first you’re even hearing of it.

It’s a problem with IRON.

An essential mineral? Right. Of course it is. You’d DIE of anemia without it.

But the problem isn’t that you’re getting too little.

It’s that you could be getting TOO MUCH… and the WRONG KIND.

And if you’re taking iron supplements, you could be slowly DESTROYING your own health!

Here’s what the science shows… and the media isn’t telling you.

An ironic tale

The latest research shines a long-overdue light on two of the most common forms of iron.

They’re NOT the safe, natural, and healthy kind of iron you’ll get from an evening spent shucking oysters.

They’re called ferric citrate and ferric EDTA.

Not ringing a bell?

Like I said, no one’s talking about this.

But just because you’ve never HEARD of them doesn’t mean you’re AVOIDING them.

Odds are, you’re putting these two forms of iron into your body every day. They’re found in common supplements (including some multivitamins) and are added to foods for fortification.

Now, the latest research links these forms of iron to a deadly cancer that kills 1,000 Americans – men and women alike, especially older folks – every single week.

This is a link we’ve seen before in studies on mice.

The mainstream has always blown it off because, well, they’re mice.

That’s what they say, anyway.

I think the REAL reason is that recognizing this danger would cost the food industry BILLIONS as it’s forced to switch to better sources of iron.

So, the mainstream keeps it quiet.

Shhhhhh. No one will find out.

Well, friend, it’s time to wake up and smell the rust, because the new study put these forms of iron to the test in HUMAN cells and found that we’re not so different from mice after all, at least when it comes to colon cancer risk.

Squeak, squeak!

In lab tests on human colon cells, researchers that found both of these forms of iron triggered the release of a compound that shows up when cancer is forming, called amphiregulin.

The link was so strong that the researchers said it would be unethical to repeat these tests inside living, breathing humans.

Yet the food industry is “testing” it on YOU right now, every day!

The study finds no link to ferrous sulphate, another common form of iron used in food and supplements.

But that’s not ideal, either.

It’s a little harder on the stomach, and it’s not the best form for your body to use.

The absolute BEST way to get the iron you need is from foods such as fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry. But calves’ livers are a great source of iron, too, especially if you fry them up with some sautéed spinach.

But don’t go overboard.The RDA for iron is set far too high. Unless you’re diagnosed with a deficiency or some other problem, don’t start popping iron pills.

If you DO need the stuff, you can find iron supplements based on desiccated liver to give you the lift you need without the risks.
