Higher intake of heme iron, the type found in red meat and other animal products—as opposed to non-heme iron, found mostly in plant-based foods—was associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 ...

In a recent study published in Nature Metabolism, researchers combine traditional clinical indicators with cutting-edge metabolomics data to investigate the processes underlying dietary heme iron ...
