Just today I had somebody tell me that "plant based iron" does not work. I guess I must tell this as soon as possible to the multiple different labs that have been testing my blood every year since I went vegan 8 years ago and have only ever found a vitamin D deficit during winter.

The same idea goes for any study where somebody praises meat. It's all justification of habits and desire.
