概述：

人們認(rèn)為，只要不到第三階段就不會(huì)有什么問題。這種想法是不對的。。。

"People think that if they're not at the third stage, nothing is wrong, but that's not true," says John L. Beard, who helped design the Purdue study. "You're not in stage three until your iron reserves go to zero, and if you wait until that point, you're in trouble." However, most people with low iron reserves don't know they have a deficiency, because traditional methods of calculating the amount of iron in blood by checking levels of the blood protein that transports oxygen are not sufficient, Beard states. Instead, it's important to check levels of a different compound, which indicate the amount of storage of iron in the blood.
