Numerous laboratory and clinical investigations over the
past few decades have observed that one of the dangers of iron is its ability
to favour neoplastic cell
growth. The metal is carcinogenic due to its catalytic effect on the
formation of hydroxyl radicals, suppression of the activity of host defence cells and promotion of cancer cell
multiplication. In both animals and humans, primary neoplasms
develop at body sites of excessive iron deposits. |

Iron encourages the formation of cancer-causing free
radicals. Of course, the body
needs a certain amount of iron for healthy blood cells. But beyond this
rather small amount, iron becomes a dangerous substance, acting as a catalyst
for the formation of free radicals. Because of this, research
studies have shown that higher amounts of iron in the blood mean higher cancer
risk. |
