I'm using my grandmothers cast iron. She and my grandfather lived well into their 50's so I should be good.

  I mean, they're totally for a different purpose though. Clad stainless cookware is meant for faster reaction to changes in temperature. Cast iron is great for searing but has way too much thermal mass to finely control temperature. Hard to beat copper and stainless steel for that.

  From what I've read, cooking acidic food in cast iron can lead to iron poisoning. Though it is not clear how much dosage would be needed for that to happen..

    It the other direction, if you're iron deficient it can be a good thing!

  Well into their 50s is not very old. 100 years ago the average lifespan wasn’t as good but there was more childhood mortality, no antibiotics, etc.

    Pretend you're on Reddit and you'll realize it was a joke.

      There’s way too much noise on Reddit so I don’t read it often. HN tends to have higher signal without as much noise.

      Except we’re not on Reddit and even then it wasn’t obvious it was a joke
