Low ferritin doesn't matter as long as hemoglobin and hematocrit are good?

[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 273441, member: 15235"] The other important pieces of this POV are that 1) most men are far more likely to have iron overload rather than low iron, so blood donation (at least for a while) would not necessarily cause a deficiency but rather bring levels down to a healthier point. If someone was truly deficient without a lot of blood donation, the question would be "where did the iron go?" since" donation, chelation, and endurance sports are AFAIK the only ways to remove iron from the body. This is the obvious question for people who believe that low ferritin alone is indicative of low iron. And 2) copper plays a large role in iron metabolism so what could appear to be an iron issue could really be a low-copper issue. [/QUOTE]
