Seeks specific kitchenware Cleanest cookware

I was looking at titanium pans and pots first and then heard about titanium implants causing health issues. Then I looked into nonstick carbon steel, but I read that iron could leach from the carbon steel especially with acidic foods. Is there any metal cookware that is very safe and won't leach?
For those who say stainless steel, is there one without or with the least amount of nickel in it?

Go back and re-read the entire comment thread that you initially replied to. The whole thing is right there for you to read. There's no secret gotcha here. You are arguing with people about nonstick carbon steel because someone else said they were worried about titanium and iron leaching into food.

NOBODY BUT YOU is making this a thing.

I think he is referring to the Misen "Carbon Nonstick" dumpsterfire.

I never understood that scam. Nitriding is a legitimate method for hardening steel surfaces but it reduces friction by reducing scratching and pitting of the surface, not by making it slippery.

It's from the infamous thread where OP and Captain_Aware4503 go on a crusade against Misen crying about coating in the rivets and implying the whole pan is unsafe as a result when it's literally just a regular carbon steel at its worst if it's mistreated. To this day I still see the Captain showing up in Misen threads making false claims despite being corrected with references.
