My husband is concerned with the possible iron buildup from using cast iron (it doesn't build up in women, only men). 
Does anyone know if this is a problem?

Does he have hemochromatosis or liver disease? those are the only things I know of that cause excess build up of iron because it allows too much absorption. It is alot easier for men to meet their iron needs.

Others need its cheer and so do you-
Need it most when outer sky's dull gray
Leaves the sunshine-making yours to do.
