In the case of hemochromatosis, it is believed that a single individual in Europe, 60 to 70 generations ago, was the sole origin of most of the hemochromatosis seen in the world today.
Hemochromatosis is a condition caused by excess iron build-up in the body. This condition is commonly inherited, and most often affects the liver, heart and pancreas. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron. Although vitamin C overdose does not cause hemochromatosis, it can worsen the condition.
