hey guys in this video we’re going to

talk about the toxic effect from iron

which is in a lot of grains which I know

you’re not eating but you probably know

people who do so what they do with

grains like breads pasta cereal they

fortify them and the United States

Canada and Britain in other countries

but not a lot of the European countries

but anyway if you’re getting exposed to

too much iron it could be a big problem

for several reasons number one iron is

attracted to damaged tissue in the body

so if you have high levels of insulin

and you have inflammation and you have

insulin resistance and you have problems

with the heart the brain the kidneys for

example the nervous system well iron

goes into those areas and it oxidizes

the tissues which kind of rusts them out

it just rots them out just like in your

car you have this rust so it accident is

including the fat layer around the

nervous system and the brain as well so

these metals accumulate without the

ability to get rid of them

so the problem with excess iron is you

can only get rid of like 1.2 milligrams

a day yet people are getting massive

quantities on a daily basis so it’s all

going to the liver and other tissues the

RDAs or the required amounts that we

need to prevent a deficiency would be 8

milligrams and we do need some iron

food-based but we don’t need too much of

it but a lot of the supplements have

like 18 milligrams 22 milligrams way too

high and they’re doing that to prevent

anemia and things like that

but I recommend solving anemia with just

red meat or other proteins that will

have the natural type of iron in them

number 6 all microbes need iron to

survive those are good bacteria and

microbes and pathogens they live on iron

so when your body has an infection it

actually will start to regulate iron in

not the release of iron from the tissues

to try to help the immune system work

better and this is why probiotics are so

important because if you have more good

bacteria which will eat more of this

iron this excess it leaves less for the

pathogens so if you know people of

course not yourself because you’re on a

no grain diet if you know people that

have excess iron one of the best ways to

eliminate the iron

it’s called chelation which is binding

with these this mineral and pulling it

out is called phytic acid okay and the

type of phytic acid i’m going to

recommend is ip6 it’s an acetal hexa

phosphate which is basically one

inositol which is in the family of the B

vitamins and six phosphates connected

it’s a very potent antioxidants to

prevent the rusting effect of iron so it

will actually help neutralize the

damaged effects of iron and allow it to

go through the body so it inhibits

oxidation from iron and it’s a really

one of probably the most powerful key

leaders for iron and one last point I

want to bring up you can get a lot of

excess iron if you’re consuming large

quantities of meats okay and other

animal proteins if you’re not consuming

enough vegetable and other foods that

can actually cause a buildup of iron -

because where do we get phytic acid from

the vegetables from the nuts from the

seats another reason why you need to

consume a lot of vegetables with your

animal protein alright thanks for
