Hi Rica,

There is nothing like cooking in cast iron. Nothing like it anywhere in

any form. However, the iron that you get from your cast iron cooking

pots and pans is inorganic iron that your body cannot use. Still, I

would use cast iron frying pans before anything else. Though now that I

am raw I don't use them any more and I get all the iron I need from the

fruits and veggies that I eat. I don't know about the newer cast iron

pots and what they use to seal them with. I think I would be a little

wary of those.

It's inorganic so won't really do the body any good.Gayla <goatclearing@...> wrote:

Your body can not use the iron from cast iron pots? I am not doubting your word, I just find that hard to believe! If you body can absorb aluminum, why not iron?

=======================================

Yes your body will absorb the iron but cannot utilize it in cellular

functions as it is inorganic iron. The same with the aluminum. Your body

doesn't use it and can't. It just gets stored in the brain and fatty

tissues and organs leading to all sorts of metabolic and physical

problems. Same with any inorganic mineral or metal. Just because your

body absorbs it does not mean it is good for you. Your body will absorb

Strontium 90 too and it most definitely is not good for you. No, your

body cannot use inorganic minerals or metals. They are not utilized by

the human organism nor by any animals. All minerals need to be organic

which means they come from plant life. They must be converted by the

plants first in order for your body to utilize them for health and well

being.

As humans, there is only one way that we can fully access minerals on a

cellular level and that is through the consumption of offerings from the

plant kingdom. We do not possess the ability to perform photosynthesis,

therefore we must rely on the plant kingdom to prepare (chemically

assemble) our foods (ingredients). Plants, through the process of

photosynthesis attach enzymes to inorganic minerals found in soil or

water and can make them living or organic minerals. In other words, the

attached enzymes act as a “passport” to assist the transfer of the

minerals into the cells of the human body and aid in the cells

utilization of the delivered minerals. The key here is that the enzyme

must be active and attached to the mineral in order for the body to

utilize it.

I hope this helps clear this up some. Too much inorganic minerals stored

up in your body is not a good thing to have. This is why chelation

therapy exists to help remove these stored up inorganic metals and minerals.
