I have been cooking in cast iron cookware for as long as I can remember. When I went to the doctor for routine checkup, I was told my blood was rich in iron. He asked me what I took? Geritol, etc. None of those, I said, but I do cook in cast iron cook ware. As older doctors tend to do, he shrugged off the idea that the cookware made my blood so healthy and rich. But then he couldn't suggest any other reason for the test results. I shy away from aluminum for the same reasons, only in reverse. I think aluminum cookware poisons the food being cooked, not big time poison but over years, I think it could lead to Alzheimer's and other mental problems.
