Can lead to organ failure and chronic diseases: cirrhosis, diabetes, and heart failure Hemochromatosis HEMOCHROMATOSIS caused by a rare inherited condition that causes more dietary iron than usual to be absorbed by the gut Excess iron can lead to liver damage, weakness, skin pigmentation, and diabetes – bronze diabetes Condition called “bronze diabetes” due to the discoloration of the skin and associated disease of the pancreas Erythrocyte Synthesis: The Role of Folic Acid and B12 FOLIC ACID is a vitamin found in large amounts in leafy plants, beans, peanuts, whole grains, and seafood. Folic acid is required for the synthesis of Thymine (T) of DNA, which is essential for cell division.
