@heathert ...Thanks for the heads up on the iron. I will be asking for iron bloodwork next I visit my GP, since I am vegan too I did see this (not sure where) and thought it important.
"Iron is a double-edged sword. If we don’t absorb enough, we risk anemia; but if absorb too much, we may increase our risk of cancer, heart disease, and a number of inflammatory conditions. Because the human body has no mechanism to rid itself of excess iron, one should choose plant-based (non-heme) sources, over which our body has some control."
