My uncle says I should not take a multivitamin that contains Iron. I'm not sure why though. Just that men shouldn't take one containing iron. Centrum seems to have iron but "One A Day" essentials doesn't. Should i take that instead

If it matters i'm 21 years old.

Centrum is a no-no. I was told that a day or so on these forums. The shell is "craptastic" and the insides are not that good as well. Check the forums for other brands.

Not sure on the Iron thing.
 
Most people with a decent balanced diet get enough iron in foods...and Iron can build up in the body, and lead to problems.

I also think the iron in vitamins oxidizes quickly, meaning it doesn't really get absorbed, so you sorta waste money buying the 'with iron' variety.
