Why don't strong magnets tear the iron out of your blood?

   ie. if you hold a rare earth magnet in your hand, why doesn't it pull the iron in your bloodstream toward it?
   
   Serious question. I could probably search it up but if I do it this way someone's sure to demonstrate they're more retarded than me

   Its already magnetized to your blood.

   I’ve always wondered this myself.

   I think it's because of the way the iron is bound to the protein responsible for the oxygen transport. I don't think you have a lot of elemental iron in your blood.

   This. it's not iron flakes floating around the blood its iron complexes. If we had elemental iron floating around in us we would have to have a completely different circulatory system.

   The first thing I heard when I first smoked meth is the kraeyshawn song by ICP. It felt like a love song about meth to me at the tinne.

   because the content of iron isnt in the metallic form...its bound to the hemoglobin in a very, very, VERY small amount. additionally...the amount in the bloodstream is so low as to be virtually undetectable to a magnet. like...2 or 3 grams distributed around the entire circulatory system, if memory serves me.

    Even if it was free floating, wouldn't it not be enough to get picked up by a magnet? What would happen if it did get picked up? It would probably ball at points no? Have you noticed I like question marks? I don't really know anything about this, can you tell?

    Iron isn't necessarily magnetic goy. It all depends on it's electron configuration. It's a lot like goys and anti-semites in a way.
