I found this related study interesting:

> Ethiopian children fed food from iron pots had lower rates of anaemia and better growth than children whose food was cooked in aluminium pots [1]

And to your point about Chromium, the type of iron leached by cast iron may not contribute to cardiovascular disease (the same way as heme iron) [2]

I cannot access the full-text of the second article, but is it really thought that heme iron is the component of red meat that contributes/causes cardiovascular disease?

Did the authors somehow adjust for the fact that a high heme iron intake generally implies a diet high in red meat?
