As you think all diseases are iron related, you clearly must think that the

No I don't think it is. Iron deficiency is clearly a cause for iron
deficient anaemia for example. It is relevant to some other diseases too.
Sometimes the iron level may be the cause of disease, sometimes the result,
sometimes there's no relation.

I prattle on? As for suggesting a disease where iron is not 'involved', I
suggest that no one has ever done that because they don't take the question
seriously. Or if they have suggested one then you've probably just rejected
it without evidence. I'll try my luck. What about the common cold? (or just
about any other disease). Please explain the role iron has in causing the
cold. Please don't place a link to a loony one-topic website. As I said
(more prattle coming up) my iron levels are low to normal yet I've still
caught lots of things. Are you going to say that iron at any level causes
disease? If that's true then there's not much we can do.

Just as we know the smile is innate because all people from all different
cultures use it to indicate the same thing, similarly, if you look at our
history and all modern societies that I know of, you'll find people rather
keen on meat. This indicates to me that it is innate. Just as you can't make
a real herbivore like meat or a real carnivore eat lettuce. However, being
an omnivore you can certainly choose not to eat meat. It's not that we
choose to eat meat so much as that some people choose NOT to. And good luck
to them. But of course it's natural whether we like it or not. Nature red in
tooth and claw Tom.

Your thinking of lions. A new male to the pride will often kill all the
cubs. But I don't think they eat them. At least that's not their primary aim
which is, as you say, to bring the female to oestrus and replace the pride
with their own offspring. But do lions choose to do this or is it innate?
Innate I reckon. As for chimps (which is our nearest relative). They eat the
meat of the Colobus monkey mainly. The males go out in a group and hunt
them. Then they tear them apart with their bare hands and eat the meat red
and dripping. Some males will then share some of their meat with a female on
heat for sexual favours. See, they just love meat.

In the human body there is a natural antibiotic .. lactoferrin .
It is present in all the slime in our bodies.
It is the bodies PRIME defense in the fight of infection.
Lactoferrin acts by removing iron from the invader.
When this lactoferrin becomes 'saturated' with iron it becomes useless
and is unable
to function .
Antiviral effects of plasma and milk proteins: lactoferrin shows
potent
activity against both human immunodeficiency virus and human
cytomegalovirus
replication in vitro.
Harmsen MC, Swart PJ, de Bethune MP, Pauwels R, De Clercq E, The TH,
Meijer DK
Native and chemically derivatized proteins purified from serum and
milk were
assayed in vitro to assess their inhibiting capacity on the cytopathic
effect
of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and human cytomegalovirus
(HCMV) on
MT4 cells and fibroblasts, respectively. Only native and
conformationally
intact lactoferrin from bovine or human milk, colostrum, or serum
could
completely block HCMV infection (IC50 = 35-100 micrograms/mL).
Moreover,
native lactoferrin also inhibited the HIV-1-induced cytopathic effect
(IC50 =
40 micrograms/mL). When negatively charged groups were added to
lactoferrin by
succinylation, there was a 4-fold stronger antiviral effect on HIV-1,
but the
antiviral potency for HCMV infection was mostly decreased. Lactoferrin
likely
exerts its effect at the level of virus adsorption or penetration (or
both),
because after HCMV penetrated fibroblasts, the ongoing infection could
not be
further inhibited.

If vegetarian men have half of my iron levels, they must all be anemic.

You say that iron causes disease but lactoferrin does not prove that. It
shows that a normal level of iron is required to allow lactoferrin to do its
stuff. The immune system is highly complex and has multifarious ways of
warding off attack. No one is saying that iron doesn't come into the
equation. You can have too much or too little iron as with everything else.

> Chimps .. you said .. chimps .. didn't .. ya .. ?
Yes I said chimps. We're talking about meat eating are we not? If a dominant
chimp murders a baby it's not for the food. It's for the same reason as
lions. It's irrelevant to our discussion. My point of showing meat eating in
chimps was just to show that meat eating in our lineage may go back quite a
way. But of course I admit that because chimps eat meat doesn't mean that we
naturally do. Only that looking deep into our past (all the homonids at
least) our ancestors appear to have eaten meat. I take a leap then back to
our common ancester with chimps and since meat eating occurs in both
branches after the split, it's quite possible that our common ancester also
ate meat. It may not have though. There is no evidence. It's just part of
the big picture.

> Works for .. chimps .. YOUR .. 'reference' .. TO .. man.
Actually, what really works for a chimp (except the dominant male who does
what he likes) is taking care of the babies. This confers immunity from
attack and makes the females look kindly upon him. But, as I explained
above, chimps are not my reference for Man. The best evidence for me that we
naturally eat meat is that most people like it. Not everyone of course. Some
people don't like meat and some don't like veges. I personally eat a bit of
meat but not a lot. It takes all kinds. But you won't find many societies
that don't eat meat. Why is it that most people like meat? Evolution has
provided us with all our innate drives in order to make us successful at
reproducing. We have desires for air, food and water, sex etc etc which we
like to satisfy. It makes us feel good to do so. If we didn't benefit from
eating meat, we simply wouldn't like it. Just as no one likes to eat rotten
meat (because it would make us sick) some animals like hyenas and dogs
thrive on it. They love the taste and the smell of it. This is obvious to
anyone who has a dog. But dogs don't like bananas because they don't have
the digestive system to deal with fruit and so evolution has programmed them
to hate bananas (something I find incredible). Being omnivores we don't HAVE
to eat meat. We can choose not to eat it just as priests can choose not to
have sex (ostensibly at least). This argument holds by the way whether you
believe in evolution or not. Whether it be by God, an intelligent designer
or by evolution you have to wonder why we have a taste for meat. Reminds me
of a joke. If God wanted us to be vegetarians then why did he make animals
out of meat?
