Today's woman is definitely anemic and most men are so to ! Anemia was something unknown in the past.

Iron skillets and dosa making hot plates were used regularly.
A vegetable stir fry prepared in the iron skillet once a week was enough to meet the body's demand of iron for the entire week. So when used everyday, the body got more than its need of iron.

Teflon, a product advertised as making life easy, is also used in a different form to keep stains off carpets and clothing. DuPont calls these products the housewives' best friend. Teflon and the chemicals used in its production have grown into a $2 billion-a-year industry. This includes ammonium perfluorooctanoate, known as C-8, which has been linked to cancer, organ damage and other health effects in tests on laboratory animals.
In two to five minutes on a conventional stovetop, cookware coated with Teflon and other non-stick surfaces can exceed temperatures at which the coating breaks apart and emits toxic particles and gases linked to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pet bird deaths and an unknown number of human illnesses each year,
according to tests commissioned by Environmental Working Group (EWG).
