The Rappaport 2017 reference appears to directly contradict various parts of the rest of this Wikipedia article. In particular, this Wikipedia article says “recent research found that the iron ingot had no effect on non iron-deficiency anemia. It therefore recommended against its use in Cambodia and other countries where the majority of anaemia is not due to iron deficiency”; that line seems to be more or less a paraphrase of Rappaport 2017, which says “We do not recommend the use of the fish-shaped iron ingot in Cambodia[…]” But this Wikipedia article also says “About 60% of pregnant Cambodian women are anemic as a result of dietary iron deficiency,” which comes from the globalnews.ca article, which says “In Cambodia, about six in 10 women are anemic because of an iron deficiency in their diets.” So I’m not sure what to conclude or how best to edit this article. If Rappaport 2017 is right, and if its paraphrase in this Wikipedia article is right, then the globalnews.ca article is wrong, and so is the paraphrase of that article. Anyone have more detailed or more fully referenced sources? -- Elysdir ( talk) 22:52, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
So i had a brief read of rappaport. I suspect the other parts of the article are incorrect or based off news reports that are perhaps a bit too overenthusiastic, or based off pregnant women who have a higher rate of iron deficiency. In the study mentioned, anaemia in general had a prevalence of 44 percent and iron deficiency anaemia had a rate of 9 percent in non pregnant women of reproductive age. In the previous study on the iron fish they found a prevalence of iron deficiency rate of 13 percent. Interestingly enough, they mention that cast iron cookware is also shown not to be effective in other studies in this population. 103.2.198.71 ( talk) 07:56, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
Articles about iron deficiency are linking to this article as information about a source of iron. However, this article does not cover the other studies on cast iron as a source of iron. Perhaps it should be expanded or link to a larger article? I don't edit Wiki articles after hostile unhelpful experiences. Here is some info for consideration of anyone with the skills. Iron in cookware can raise hemoglobin levels, but there is not evidence that it raises serum ferritin or reduces anemia.
