We know that.  And there will most likely not be such research.

But my "experiential evidence" shows a definite connection. Mother
eliminates the iron (early enough) and baby's intestines are relieved.

Heart specialists are saying loudly that we should not take iron
supplements unless we are diagnosed anemic.

We are just sharing "loose ideas" these past couple of days because I and
others are seeing far too much of this condition to just ignore it.

Do you know if any medical body is asking why?  Is there research going on
into this problem? Every possibility needs to be examined.  We need to
think outside the box.
