Avoid iron unless you have a doctor confirmed deficiency. Iron is very detrimentasl to a man's body. Any iron you need you can get from green leafy vegetables.0

Avoid Iron? o.O
Red meat, egg yolks, lentils, leafy greens, some cereals are pretty high in iron0 -
Liver (chicken one is higher, I guess... or I just like it more :-)) and spinach.0

WHAT??
Iron is necessary to make hemoglobin, the substance that carries oxygen through your blood to all the cells in your body. Hemoglobin is what makes red blood cells red. With insufficient iron, and therefore not enough hemoglobin, red blood cells become small and pale and don't carry enough oxygen.
Men don't need to carry oxygen to their cells??0 -

I call shenanigans. Iron is essential for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide.
All I can say is try not to supplement because they can lead to constipation. Stick with fortified cereals, red meat, and leafy greens.0 -
I have heard that men should not take iron supplements. Men need iron, but not in excess.

Do you have any reason to believe you are deficient in iron? If not, as a man, you probably shouldn't get too worried about it if you have a balanced diet. One other random fact, cooking on cast iron skillets/grills adds iron to the food.0

I try and get all the iron I can from leafy greens, seeds/nuts, beans and my personal favorite, dark chocolate (or cacao).0
