Back in the days when cast iron pots and pans were used very few people had an iron deficiency. It seems like this has changed now that very few people use cast iron cooking pots and pans. A doctor told me that this was the way we got the iron mineral in our body back in the old days. It's 2016 and I see iron pots and pans making a comeback. Cooking on aluminum, non stick coatings and some plastics in the microwave are now bad and even harmful for people.
