- TL;DR Summary
- Heme iron is claimed in a research study (cited in text) to be associated with a 27% increased risk of cardiovascular disease; is this credible?
In the "Results" section of the Abstract of https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23708150/, (due to a paywall, I get no further) there is the following "The dose-response RR of CHD for an increase in heme iron intake of 1 mg/day was 1.27" (CHD being coronary heart disease).
Is the paraphrasing in https://gamechangersmovie.com/dr-loomis-beef-with-mens-health-review-of-the-film/ of this result: "one additional milligram per day of heme iron — found exclusively in animal foods — is associated with a 27% increased risk of cardiovascular disease"? If so,
is such a percentage credible?
