Dr: You can get your iron supplement in pill form at the local Walmart.
Guy: Oh? That's nice. Does it have any artificial sweeteners?
Dr: It's plain.

"Gastroenterologists who X-rayed Lotito’s stomach said he was capable of consuming 2 pounds per day, according to his Guinness World Records entry."

I often read things and think about them and realize that it's so absurd I can't believe anyone tried to pass it off as true, and this is one of them.

Gastroenterologist: "Oh yeah, that stomach can consume metal, I know because..." Because what? You've been trained to identify stomachs that can digest metal using X-rays? What day of gastroenterologist school was that?

Go Google abdominal X-ray. You can't even tell where the stomach is, it's just a cloudy area.

"Oh yeah, that cloudy area there can definitely digest metal, I can tell just by looking at it. I'd say it can digest, say, a pound and a half easily. Probably two pounds. Probably not two and a half though, I can tell just by looking at it that two pounds would be too much. "

Now look at an x-ray of an abdomen with a metallic object in it. Seems pretty plausible thata person could look at an x-ray containing a bunch of metal and approximate how much of it there is.

Maybe they made multiple X rays and looked at how much the iron in his body decreased

Iron toxicity from a patient that literally just took too many supplements.

You know how they say everybody has about a nail's worth of iron in their body?

It turns out that you definitely don't want a pound of it in your stomach.

Also turns out that a lot of other metals are the same kind of thing. Not gold though, it's generally not chemically active, so eat all the gold you want.

So what you’re saying is it was a gold cessna
