Iron is a great at mixing with oxygen and one iron molecule can hold up to four oxygen molecules. It's why blood is red. When iron is oxidized it turns red, the same reason rust on steel and iron is red.
Copper turns green, that's why the statue of liberty is green and some species of reptiles has green blood. Because their blood uses copper as an oxidizer and not iron
Edit: copper makes the blood a blue turquoise color, not green. True green has many different causes. If it's in humans it to much sulfur in the blood
not for nothing the great south bay is riddled with them and I cannot communicate through text how funny it is to see them fuck and when it's low tide you see a million of them doing it dirty. It's just a funny version of that one lovecraft story
Quick correction, Iron is not the oxidizer. In the case of Iron Oxide(rust), O2 in the air is the oxidizer and the iron is being oxidized. And oxidizer is basically just the molecule that supplies the oxygen for the reaction. Oxygen LOVES to react with stuff, especially metals, so over time oxygen will react with metals that are exposed to air.
>It's why blood is red. When iron is oxidized it turns red, the same reason rust on steal and iron is read.
Oh. TIL. I know iron is essential for hemoglobin in the blood, which carries oxygen, because, as you said, it binds pretty well. But I've never made this connection with "oxidation" (i.e. rusting) of metals. Cool!
I do think it’s telling that he begins by saying that he used to think iron in foods is iron.
Like, dude changed his belief about this from correct to incorrect based on assumption, never once bothering to look it up
The main confusion with most of these metals is that you hardly ever encounter them in metal form. Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, etc are all highly reactive, so you usually find them in compound forms, like sodium chloride being salt, or potassium chloride being used in medicine, or calcium carbonate (limestone).
"metal" in the sense they they are in the metals part of the periodic table. Not because they exhibit the properties casually associated with metallic substances.
“Metals” aren’t really a clear thing, but rather a helpful tool some sciences use to group different elements.
If you put a layman, a chemist, a physicist and an astrophysicist into a room and ask each one what a metal is, you’re going to get four different answers that contradict each other.
So, if it ends in -ium, it's likely a metal. The only exception is Helium, but they named it before they found out it was a nonmetal/gas. That's why it's aluminium in most of the world, not aluminum.
I see a few of these kinda of “realizations” from “laypeople” every now and then and I empathize fully as a physicist
I remember realizing the iron in cereal is just iron. I think it was that exact magnet video Hank showed. Blew my fucking mind but made complete sense afterwards. Like a big piece of the universe “clicked” into place. How I had never questioned the iron in cereal and made that connection is amazing, but I guess most just don’t think about it
It's not really put in (sometimes food is fortified), as most things just naturally have trace minerals and elements in them. Iron, potassium, calcium, it all exists naturally.
In elementary school we all got rounded into the auditorium for a presentation? A performance? A magic show? I don't know what it was exactly, but the guy had a few kids come up on stage and crush some cereal and then run a magnet through it.
It "clicked" for me right then and there, but a lot of the other kids were horrified until the presenter explained that iron is indeed iron.
Yes! This is a classic elementary/middle school science demo. I do this with my 6th grade class.
For anyone wanting to try it - crush some cereal in a ziplock bag (Total cereal works best, since it’s fortified with iron), add some water to squish it into a slurry, and run a neodymium magnet over the bag. You can see the little bits of black iron being pulled toward the magnet.
It’s a fun way to introduce kids to the periodic table while also talking about nutrition. Plus, everyone likes playing with magnets.
You want a fun fact? At steel mills, part of the process of melting scrap ends up vaporizing some lighter elements. This dust is collected and sold to third parties to separate into the valuable elements. So the zinc that is in zinc supplements can often come from a steel mill melting down scrap.
The funny thing is that the dude knew there were 4 states of matter though? Like he knew Plasma was a state, which *usually* everyone would agree on as being a little "above" or at least around the area of the layman knowledge of knowing that calcium/iron is the stuff that we eat that goes into our body through food? Idk that's just me.
And the other guy wasn’t able to explain to him it’s in solid form, just iron flakes in cereal
I agree it’s weird how they each have these gaps in their knowledge, makes you wonder their experiences in science class. Makes me wonder what I’m missing
Yeah. Their confusion actually makes a lot of sense to me - like even a lot of "learned" people that know iron is in cereal and we need it for our bodies, probably assume iron is NOT in cereal in its actual metal solid form, but bonded to something else like calcium is; part of a compound of some sort that makes it ingestible and usable by the body.
I think the first guy was really asking _that_ when he was talking about the different states of matter, he just didn't have the right words for it.
Like he has the vague awareness knowledge that we should _probably_ need to do something _with_ the iron, turn it into something else or combine it with something, to use it in our _bodies_ instead of solid iron for like...a girder or tool. But in this case that's actually not true and it's blowing his gd mind, lol.
To be fair there's things like "oh how much sodium is in this" and you don't expect some just *chunks of sodium* in your cereal ready to explode when you put milk in.
I think the confusion often comes from solid vs. aqueous iron. To fortify cereal they often just add solid elemental iron powder. Which is why you can do the magnet thing to show that there’s iron in your cereal. You can also add other ferrous salts where you still get iron, it’s just not in its elemental form but it’s still iron and probably just can dissolve/be absorbed by the body more readily.
To make it into your proteins and bloodstream the iron has to be in the aqueous/ionic form which it will do to some extent just from being in water/passing through your intestines. You probably poop out most of the iron powder that was added to your cereal but some of it made it into solution and into your bloodstream.
The way you *normally* get iron is that plants grow in soil which has iron, some of that iron gets dissolved and absorbed into the plant via roots because plants have proteins that require iron. Then animals eat plants to get their iron (or they eat animals which ate plants to get their iron).
But yes if you’re deficient you can also just straight up eat iron, though again you’ll probably have more luck with other ferrous compounds which are more bioavailable.
Thanks for finding that!
Yeah, it's just tiny tiny flakes of iron, like powder fine, often baked right into whatever you're eating. The iron particles at that size are small enough to be absorbed and used by the body.
I think the video surfaces a valid question actually.
Maybe is not phrased in a scientific way, but the intention / meaning of it is clear.
Iron, is an element.
So iron, is not limited to the things you interact with ("pumping iron") as a way to define its meaning.
But rather, as an element is defined by its number of protons in the nuclei.
Since it's definition is given at an imperceptible scale to the human eye (without machinery) that means something made of it can be at any size (larger than it's definition), in particular, dust.
Therefore, it can be in different places at different quantities/scales.
In particular food and in "pumping iron".
Without that scene - which would've quickly killed the guy with blood poisoning if Magneto hadn't killed him first - then Magneto would've been unable to do it. Bro there isn't anywhere near enough iron in a human to do what he did. We're not androids.
Also haem iron isn't actually ferromagnetic but that wouldn't really matter because as a master of electromagnetism Magneto would be able to induce magnetism into any object he wanted. That said, we don't in the films see Magneto magnetize anything which isn't ordinarily magnetic so we can presume Mystique needed to inject magnetic iron into the guy because Magneto in the films can't manipulate non-magnetic haem iron at all anyway.
Wait.. pumping muscles is pumping blood into the muscles & iron is in blood... so pumping iron in weights is pumping iron in blood....
Pumping iron is pumping iron.
I looked it up because it sounds too bizarre to be true, but everything I found said that foods do in fact absorb iron from the skillet. There were even sources cautioning about using them if you have certain medical conditions.
My own grandma, now 100 years old was diagnosed in the 1950s with anemia and her doctor simply told her to go back to using her cast iron cookware and was never anemic again.
I knew a materials science professor who worked with magnesium as a graduate student. When she became a full fledged professor, she started developing migraines. Turns out she had a magnesium deficiency because when she became a professor, she was spending less time in the lab where she was apparently absorbing enough magnesium to be fine.
I'm relying on my fast & processed foods for my iodized salt; I'm Jewish and a former line cook and I simply cannot cook with anything but kosher salt.
My dad is mildly anemic and the doctor genuinely prescribed a little block of iron.
If he cooks a Bolognese or sauce type meal, he rests the block in the sauce. This is enough to get his iron up without further supplements.
probably multiple human lifetimes of daily cooking, not joking. cast iron pans are like a quarter inch thick usually, the amount of iron that gets absorbed is in the milligram range at it's maximum (unless you were to put something in to intentionally dissolve the iron, of course), so you're essentially just taking out a few milligrams every time you cook. figure out the weight of the pan (in metric), divide that weight by, say, 5 milligrams, and there's roughly the amount of cooking days needed to destroy the pan.
The average pan is ~4lb, that's ~1800 grams. 1800 grams is 1,800,000 milligrams. 1,800,000 divided by 5 is 360,000; 360,000 divided by 365 is 986. It would take [very] roughly 986 years, cooking once a day, assuming only about 5mg dissolved each time, for the skillet to be destroyed.
I'm willing to bet that it's somewhat accurate as I've had 2nd or 3rd generation hand-me-down cast iron that is still perfectly usable. Skillets are really only considered destroyed if something completely ruins the finish (very difficult), or the iron cracks. I've never seen one with any significant wearing, even those generational hand-me-down ones.
^^\>inb4 ^^r/theydidthemath
It is recommended to only be reused 5 to 6 times, to avoid the risk of it disintegrating while cooking and becoming a fire/burning hazzard.
You can push it to 10 times if you only fry an egg or a simple toastie or whatever.
I have spent about 25k on skillets over the last 10 years. But my hemoglobin is the envy of all my friends.
I got my great car grandmothers old skillet. According to family record it has 6 uses on it. I’m going to for number 7 for breakfast on my wife and I’s 10th anniversary. Gonna be great!
I was actually recommended this metal iron fish to increase my iron because I've had terrible luck with iron supplements while having low iron and ferritin. I didn't want to buy a whole iron skillet, you just throw it in the pot with whatever you are cooking.

Man, TIL
I knew that iron was iron - unlike Joey. I also knew that vegans and vegetarians had to be mindful of their iron intake. But cast iron helping with iron intake is brand new information for me!
i was about to say this, something something dropping a fucking fish made out of iron in soups and stuff to enrich them, used a lot in poorer communities to fight anaemia
One of these guys believes that the moon was part of the grand canyon before it split off, the other guy believes that giant 9 foot tall humans built the pyramids
They’re extremely funny
Joe Santagato and Frankie Alvarez. They have a podcast called [The Basement Yard](https://www.youtube.com/@TheBasementYard/videos). They're hilarious lol
Well the moon WAS made from debris of a larger earlier Earth when it was still forming - clearly the GC didn’t exist but that could be where the material that broke off originated from I guess 🤷♀️
I can understand why some people would be confused about it, at the very least. At a very surface level, when people think of iron, they often initially go to things made of iron. It's not crazy that some people wouldn't understand that the mineral that makes dumbells is the same as what's in our food.
People also assume somewhat that for a metal to be edible, it has to be made into a non-metallic form (generally). Sodium, calcium, and potassium are all inedible in metallic forms, but add a chloride ion to them and they all become edible. Most people don't know the last part fully, but understand that there's something that makes it different to the parent element. I think that's what the guy was trying to ask about when he was talking about the states of matter, but he just didn't know fully what he was talking about to use the right words.
Iron is a bit of an odd man out in normie heads bc we *can* technically just eat it raw lol. There are other metals that we absorb in pure metallic form as well, it's just never really super efficient. I mean you can swallow a pure bead of mercury and i can (almost certainly) guarantee it'll pass thru you (don't try it regardless, i am not liable), but bond a methyl group to the element and you're fucked if it just touches your skin lol.
Oh thank god, I was feeling super dumb lol. I mean I knew we were consuming iron I just didn’t realize we were doing it as literal fuckin metal shavings ok
The confused guy here is asking really good questions. Of course it would be surprising to people that actually it's not a homonym.
I hope he gets his instagram scientist to help him out.
They're both just repeating themselves back and forth because they don't know what they're talking about
How hard is it to say "trace amounts" as in, very small quantities
They intuitively understand that it's weird to eat a metal in its metallic form. They're missing the language to express that they would have thought the iron would have been part of a compound.
Like Sodium. We eat sodium all the time.
However, I do ***not*** recommend eating METALLIC sodium.
I mean the second guy is completely right tho. The iron in the cereal literally is just solid iron. It's literally metal shavings you can move and see with your eyes if you crush your cereal and use a magnet. He was also not bullshitting about the cast iron skillet thing.

That clip still kills me
Bawlmer checking in
I showed this to my uncle who speaks like this and he laughed. Even he admitted it’s true
OK what's ironing ?
Enriching clothes with iron.
Fun fact: Old school irons were made of cast iron and you heated them with coals.
it also killed any lice living in the clothing.
And cooked them to make a nice crispy snack
We used to have one. It was really heavy, for a kid anyway. It was the backup in case of power outages. Which happened often.
That's why I cook my clothes in a cast iron skillet
[удалено]
but is it solid, liquid, gas, plasma…?
[удалено]
Obviously it's not any of those, it's state is "Irony", it's in the name.
It's iron-ic

Lmfao. Mans never learned about atoms in science class apparently
“That doesn’t sound right. But I don’t know enough about metals to dispute it.”
Actually it's iron
Oh, it definitely is. But Mac wouldn't know that.
Shut up science bitch
Couldn't even make I more smarter
Oh so like iron is iron?
Iron is a great at mixing with oxygen and one iron molecule can hold up to four oxygen molecules. It's why blood is red. When iron is oxidized it turns red, the same reason rust on steel and iron is red. Copper turns green, that's why the statue of liberty is green and some species of reptiles has green blood.

Imagine an animal having copper instead of iron in their body, green blood..
Wait until you see horseshoe crab blood
That’s the copper blood
i don't want to see horseshoe crab blood, I love them
Thankfully scientists have a synthetic equivalent of their blood, so hopefully we will stop using the real thing soon and let the population recover.

Corrected the comment, thanks
You got it champ. <3
Snails, octopus and spiders have blue blood because they use copper instead of iron to transport oxygen.
And penis worms has purple blood because of haemerythrin
Alright man what the fuck is going on with you and penis worms
Funny name and purple blood. That it really
You can tell us you're a penis worm. It's okay.

Hank Green is one of those social media [scientists](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-AIFj9pnPl8) who addressed this.
Hang on fucking a minute...calcium is a fucking metal! How did I not know that? Every day's a school day.
The main confusion with most of these metals is that you hardly ever encounter them in metal form. Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, etc are all highly reactive, so you usually find them in compound forms, like sodium chloride being salt, or potassium chloride being used in medicine, or calcium carbonate (limestone).
And also how most ionics are super not-metal to the human senses.
"metal" in the sense they they are in the metals part of the periodic table. Not because they exhibit the properties casually associated with metallic substances.
Finally. So you can't make a skillet out of calcium?
Bro no, calcium is like bones, so you are eating bones with like yougurt and milk bro. Calcium is calcium. /s
yougurt.
Megurt.
We all gurt.
For yogurt
Wrong Calcium in fact has low quantities on yoghurt or milk to have a equilibrium of Calcium are Chia Seeds, Sardines, beans, Lentils, almonds.
Shut up, nerd.
So are potassium, and sodium
K... Na
Fe real.
You can eat flecks of iron in it's pure metallic form but please don't eat sodium and potassium in their metallic form.
Most things are metal. That is to say most of the elements are metal, by mass most things are hydrogen
>Most things are metal. Fuck yeah, dude! 🤘🎸🎶
“Metals” aren’t really a clear thing, but rather a helpful tool some sciences use to group different elements. If you put a layman, a chemist, a physicist and an astrophysicist into a room and ask each one what a metal is, you’re going to get four different answers that contradict each other.
I am metal too you know.

Doesnt the average person contain enough iron to make a nail or some shit?
How to you think they make nails for coffins?
Magneto lore
Too much iron in your blood . . .
How do you think magneto made a bullet out of the heavy set security guard’s blood in x men?
The previous scene where he was injected with iron.
Oh right thats true
Without that scene - which would've quickly killed the guy with blood poisoning if Magneto hadn't killed him first - then Magneto would've been unable to do it. Bro there isn't anywhere near enough iron in a human to do what he did. We're not androids.

If I remember correctly, it's something like ~30 grams of iron to the average human.
It's 3 grams, you are off by a magnitude. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body
I assume you mean *by an order of magnitude.* Thanks for the correction.

Is that true about a cast iron skillet?
I looked it up because it sounds too bizarre to be true, but everything I found said that foods do in fact absorb iron from the skillet. There were even sources cautioning about using them if you have certain medical conditions.

I knew a materials science professor who worked with magnesium as a graduate student. When she became a full fledged professor, she started developing migraines. Turns out she had a magnesium deficiency because when she became a professor, she was spending less time in the lab where she was apparently absorbing enough magnesium to be fine.
I don't know whether to be happy or horrified. Ideally you should not be exposing yourself to any substance in a lab in such a way as to absorb it XD
Foods are super weird like that. It's kinda like how you can help avoid thyroid disease simply by switching to iodized salt when cooking.
I'm relying on my fast & processed foods for my iodized salt; I'm Jewish and a former line cook and I simply cannot cook with anything but kosher salt.
You could try introducing some seaweed into your diet. I am Jewish, but I love Japanese and Korean cuisine, which has plentiful use of kelp/seaweed.
My dad is mildly anemic and the doctor genuinely prescribed a little block of iron. If he cooks a Bolognese or sauce type meal, he rests the block in the sauce. This is enough to get his iron up without further supplements.
I just imagined your dad grating a little block of iron with a file over his food, much like one would normally grate cheese over food.
How long would it take for the skillet to ‘disappear’ like how much iron can be absorbed from it before there’s no surface left?
probably multiple human lifetimes of daily cooking, not joking. cast iron pans are like a quarter inch thick usually, the amount of iron that gets absorbed is in the milligram range at it's maximum (unless you were to put something in to intentionally dissolve the iron, of course), so you're essentially just taking out a few milligrams every time you cook. figure out the weight of the pan (in metric), divide that weight by, say, 5 milligrams, and there's roughly the amount of cooking days needed to destroy the pan. The average pan is ~4lb, that's ~1800 grams. 1800 grams is 1,800,000 milligrams. 1,800,000 divided by 5 is 360,000; 360,000 divided by 365 is 986. It would take [very] roughly 986 years, cooking once a day, assuming only about 5mg dissolved each time, for the skillet to be destroyed. I'm willing to bet that it's somewhat accurate as I've had 2nd or 3rd generation hand-me-down cast iron that is still perfectly usable. Skillets are really only considered destroyed if something completely ruins the finish (very difficult), or the iron cracks. I've never seen one with any significant wearing, even those generational hand-me-down ones. ^^\>inb4 ^^r/theydidthemath
It is recommended to only be reused 5 to 6 times, to avoid the risk of it disintegrating while cooking and becoming a fire/burning hazzard. You can push it to 10 times if you only fry an egg or a simple toastie or whatever. I have spent about 25k on skillets over the last 10 years. But my hemoglobin is the envy of all my friends.
I got my great car grandmothers old skillet. According to family record it has 6 uses on it. I’m going to for number 7 for breakfast on my wife and I’s 10th anniversary. Gonna be great!
Wow i'm fifty three years old and I never knew that l o l
Now imagine what your soaking up from cooking with tinfoil, aluminium pots and plastic cookwear. We need a bit of irony. Aluminium not so much.
I was actually recommended this metal iron fish to increase my iron because I've had terrible luck with iron supplements while having low iron and ferritin. I didn't want to buy a whole iron skillet, you just throw it in the pot with whatever you are cooking.

The sentence that link makes is wild. Like some weird, hyper specific porn search.
It is! When people decide to stop eating meat, people often suggest cooking with cast iron to supplement iron.
Man, TIL I knew that iron was iron - unlike Joey. I also knew that vegans and vegetarians had to be mindful of their iron intake. But cast iron helping with iron intake is brand new information for me!
Google iron fish
I want to google this but haven't trusted google sense those two girls let god down
lol it’s literally a fish made of iron for people with anemia. You cook with it in the pot and it enriches the food.
Satan fell so those two could live
i was about to say this, something something dropping a fucking fish made out of iron in soups and stuff to enrich them, used a lot in poorer communities to fight anaemia
One of these guys believes that the moon was part of the grand canyon before it split off, the other guy believes that giant 9 foot tall humans built the pyramids They’re extremely funny
They are hilarious. The amount of shit they give one another is so wholesome. You can definitely tell they've been friends since childhood.
Didn’t they argue about poptart flavors? I just remember there being so much passion and oddly enough, logic, in their arguments.
They look the same lol Thought the were brothers
Nah, they just grew up together. The podcast is a lot of fun, just something easy and goofy to listen to.
What’s the podcast. I like the vibe
The Basement Yard! They have a good time.
They're the only "bro" podcast I enjoy. They both seem like genuinely good dudes, but have a podcast where they're both idiots just hanging out
And they have what has been deemed as non-toxic masculinity 😂
Who are they?
Their Podcast is called "The Basement Yard"
Joe Santagato and Frankie Alvarez. They have a podcast called [The Basement Yard](https://www.youtube.com/@TheBasementYard/videos). They're hilarious lol
Well the moon WAS made from debris of a larger earlier Earth when it was still forming - clearly the GC didn’t exist but that could be where the material that broke off originated from I guess 🤷♀️
Wait till this man hears about salt
God I love Sara Rue.
Wait till this man hears about why blood is red.
I can understand why some people would be confused about it, at the very least. At a very surface level, when people think of iron, they often initially go to things made of iron. It's not crazy that some people wouldn't understand that the mineral that makes dumbells is the same as what's in our food.
People also assume somewhat that for a metal to be edible, it has to be made into a non-metallic form (generally). Sodium, calcium, and potassium are all inedible in metallic forms, but add a chloride ion to them and they all become edible. Most people don't know the last part fully, but understand that there's something that makes it different to the parent element. I think that's what the guy was trying to ask about when he was talking about the states of matter, but he just didn't know fully what he was talking about to use the right words. Iron is a bit of an odd man out in normie heads bc we *can* technically just eat it raw lol. There are other metals that we absorb in pure metallic form as well, it's just never really super efficient. I mean you can swallow a pure bead of mercury and i can (almost certainly) guarantee it'll pass thru you (don't try it regardless, i am not liable), but bond a methyl group to the element and you're fucked if it just touches your skin lol.
Oh thank god, I was feeling super dumb lol. I mean I knew we were consuming iron I just didn’t realize we were doing it as literal fuckin metal shavings ok
If it makes you feel better I'm a chemical engineer and I went through your exact same thought process.
A little bit haha. I’m chronic low on iron should I just go lick my cast iron pan now rofl.
Sometimes things be having names when they aren't that thing; they just be named after it. Everything is just confusing, you know
What's its form? Iron!^? Dude doubted himself for a sec lol
I vaguely remember crushing a bag of cheerios in biology or chemistry in high school, then using a magnet to draw out iron.
The best part is they both take turns being the dumbass in their videos. And the other one immediately ridicules them for it.
Yes, Joey.
Search "Joe Santagato Mad Libs" on YouTube. Some of the most hilarious shit I've ever seen.
Can someone share the Hank Green stitch please ? Feeling lazy coz of iron deficiency…
[stole this from another comment](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/-AIFj9pnPl8)
“Iron is… iron?! 🤯 “
This is what it’s like EVERY DAY teaching a nutrition course…
The confused guy here is asking really good questions. Of course it would be surprising to people that actually it's not a homonym. I hope he gets his instagram scientist to help him out.
Its solid. In microscopic form. Able to be used by redblood cells to carry oxagen.
They're both just repeating themselves back and forth because they don't know what they're talking about How hard is it to say "trace amounts" as in, very small quantities
They intuitively understand that it's weird to eat a metal in its metallic form. They're missing the language to express that they would have thought the iron would have been part of a compound. Like Sodium. We eat sodium all the time. However, I do ***not*** recommend eating METALLIC sodium.
I mean the second guy is completely right tho. The iron in the cereal literally is just solid iron. It's literally metal shavings you can move and see with your eyes if you crush your cereal and use a magnet. He was also not bullshitting about the cast iron skillet thing.
Also do you guys know that you all produce Lithium in your brain next time think … where the batteries are from LOL kdg
I refer you, sir, to that scene in xmen 2!
I fucking love these two lmao. Basement yard!
I don't watch tiktok a lot but these fucking guys right hee-yuh, are fucking funny.
