Heme iron and its link to oxidative stress has been re-evaluated over time.
Vegetables contain non-heme iron (Fe 3+), which is reduced to (Fe 2+) by the body on demand for absorption. In contrast, heme iron is already in its reduced state (Fe 2+). Because of its high bioavailability excess heme iron reacts with peroxides to produce highly reactive free radicals (Fenton reaction).
You can keep on potatoes safely.
potatoes are high carb and no protein/fat, while foods should be high fat and low-to-medium protein (in keto diet that I do).
