    Reductive stress drives pathogenesis and progression of tuberculosis

    I am posting this study b/c it is one of the few I have seen lately demonstrating that even infectious diseases are metabolic in origin.

    Iron Deficiency May Protect Against Malaria, TB And Cancer

    I was just doing a little Googlefu about iron stores since my iron binding capacity is really high, trying to decide if I should supplement or not.
