in someone's skull with a hammer is not a test of iron toxicity.

In fact, studies which look at real criteria repeatedly have found that
it is safe when used properly.

I think this is an succinct and definitive rebuttal to the hysterical
dogmatism of Paghat and other unthinking haters of big business.


Indeed. If paghat applied her rationale to everything, she could
not eat anything. The vaunted study that showed negative effects
of chronic exposure were at over 1000 mg/kg/day.

If that were asprin, that would mean taking over 200 aspirin pills
a day for a year. Not, of course, that you would live for a year
that way. Obviously, that means that taking two aspirins
three times a day for a week will kill you, right?
