I agree. However, most of the info. I've read comes from "health journalist" Bill Sardi. Despite the sound ideas, he is still brushed off as a crack-pot. Nevertheless, I'm betting on the "over-mineralization" theory of aging.
I doubt it will ever become accepted. People seem to like to think in terms of genetics (because that's what the "experts" talk about most of the time) and "hi-tech" dreams (e.g.nano-bots killing off cancer). Even when epigenetics is mentioned, they still get it wrong when applied to age-related illnesses.
There is reasonably good evidence that excess iron is a risk factor in heart disease, which may be at least part of the reason that pre-menopausal women have less risk than men and post-menopausal women. But there doesn't appear to be a clear link to cancer.
