Abstract
Iron containing compounds of the body and the ingestion and elimination of iron are discussed. The function and transport of this metal among different sites and substances of the body are emphasized. Biochemical defects and nutritional habits that lead to excessive accumulation of iron and some unexpected consequences of this accumulation are described. Recent work implicate iron, even when its levels are only moderately elevated, in the onset of cardiovascular illness.
