Thymine is not a base of vegetable products' RNA structures. Vegetables contain folic acid, which interacts with B-12. Folic acid is important in red blood cell production because it allows the cells to grow in intermediate stages. However, full growth is not achieved. This may happen when a person eats only vegetable products, and no animal products.
Hereditary hemochromatosis is a disorder in which excessive amounts of iron are stored in the body.
The normal total Fe in the body is 2-6 grams, but individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis can accumulate amounts greater than 50 grams. This iron can deposit in many major organs, causing problems with time. Iron deficiency anemia can occur when inadequate iron is consumed, when iron is lost through bleeding or pregnancy, or with decreased iron absorption. Anemia of chronic disease is a condition where problems in iron utilization are demonstrated. This condition has little to do with dietary intake or loss of iron through bleeding, etc.
