Older homes has cast iron drains but they have lasted this long so who really knows.

TRUE. It is bad for septics. It will not harm the pipes but it will destroy the desirable bacteria inside the septic. This bacteria breaks down the effluents, extending the useful life of the system.
This is what I was told as well. Its the converse of what happens to the bacteria in our systems when we go hypo.

You know I have a septic also and started wondering the same thing. If it would hurt the tank. I have a new home so all the pipes are PVC so I am not worrying about that but I was worried about things mixing with the bacteria and forming giant evil creatures that may crawl out my pipes and come for me in the middle of the night. But then again it may be ok. I will just wait and see.
