I'm glad you caught it! I read an article not too long ago about a man who was suffering from reduced libido and saw his doctor, who found that his testosterone was low, and started him on testosterone supplements. Years later the man died of untreated hemochromatosis. The excess iron had damaged the gland that produces testosterone, and the doctor never bothered to look deeper into the problem. Good catch!
