Iron is basically the most metal of metals, and it’s everywhere. It’s in the ground, and as rainwater trickles through soil and rock, it picks up iron like a toddler picking up stray Cheerios. It’s completely natural, and honestly, your body needs iron to transport oxygen in your blood. So, unless you’re secretly a robot, a little iron is a good thing.
But here’s the twist: your body can only handle so much red carpet treatment. Too much iron in your water won’t turn you into Wolverine, but it can turn your teeth orange and your laundry into a sad, rusty mess. The real question is: at what point does the “rusty charm” become a health hazard?
