Can drinking milk everyday lower your iron?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on age: A young child tends to be iron deficient. If he or she drinks excessive milk this can lead to worse iron deficiency. Milk buffers stomach acid and stomach acid is needed for efficient absorption of iron. Vit c containing juices enhance iron absorption. At 67 iron deficiency is a reason to have a complete check up.
