Why no Iron?

[maeg]

I have a quick question - Why (and I've read this a few times on the board) does everyone reccomend a multivitamin with NO iron? I would look in my DANDR, but I lent it to my sister.. Does it stall weight loss?

the short and sweet answer is because you are getting plenty of it by the induction foods that you eat and you don't want to overdo.

Oh, okay. That makes sense. So I take it too much is bad for you?
