Do you ever wonder, Teresa, if these researchers are actually ignorant to the fact that aluminum causes hemochromatosis (iron overload) or do you think they are purposely hiding the truth?

I have not been aware than "aluminum causes hemochromatosis". Pubmed was not helpful. The search hemochromatosis AND aluminum generated 9 citations.
