I thought it had iron in it? I mean you’re right about the MRI, I never thought about it until this thread.

The iron is obviously vital, but it’s not in anywhere near the concentration that people imagine
It’s also iron the ion (it rhymes!) not elemental iron in an appreciably ferromagnetic form
Iron isn’t the only thing that’s affected by magnetism anyway
Not that it applies to biological systems, but liquid oxygen is affected by magnets. It’s pretty cool (well, extremely cold, but ya know… 🥁)
