Abstain from aluminum usage.

Iron is fine, as long as it's not oxidized (rusted) -- so keep your iron cookware well oiled for protection against unwanted chemical reactions!

I actually don't recommend cast iron because elemental iron, as opposed to heme, is extremely toxic to the body.

Same reason I avoid elemental aluminum.

There's no free lunch.

Some women have trouble with stainless because even small amounts of elemental nickel can be problematic.

On balance I think it's the best of the options.

A glass kettle is great if your stove/situation supports it.

I should clarify: I don't recommend cast iron for a kettle or for pots that you would boil liquid in. For a frying pan, I think the risk/reward is much better.
