(b) A number of studies have confirmed that only iron-carbohydrate complexes, among

a variety of iron compounds tested, are carcinogenic in animals.

Again, I want to emphasize that the amount and the form of
the metal is very important. For instance, zinc metal is carcino-
genic (cancer producing). However an appropriate dose of zinc
sulfate is anti-carcinogenic.^46 Get your essential minerals
from foods, not cookware.
Never, never drink or cook with the water from your hot
water faucet. If you have an electric hot water heater the heat-
ing element releases metal. Even if you have a gas hot water
heater, the heated water leaches metals from your pipes. If your
kitchen tap is the single lever type, make sure it is fully on cold.
Teach children this rule.
