Hello everyone,
As Desert Captain wrote research has revealed that aluminum contributes to many chronic diseases That are killing us today including Alzheimer's and dementia. As also mentioned aluminum can contribute an off taste when cooking acidic foods such as tomatoes and vinegar. These acidic foods also will leach more aluminum in to your foods ending up in your body. FYI, another source of aluminum that you should consider removing from your daily routine is antiperspirants. Read the label to see if yours contains aluminum and then dump them in the garbage. Replace them with deodorant. I know, I know not the same but it is healthier for you. As was also mentioned aluminum will not work with induction cook tops.
Just as an FYI I speak from a place of authority. My job is a corporate health and wellness educator and coach my credentials are: a Chiropractic Physician, a nutritionist, a certified weight management counselor, a certified diabetes prevention counselor, a certified personal trainer, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, a certified corporate wellness culture coach, and a certified intrinsic motivation coach. There are some others but you get the point.
As for the research on aluminum, to date there are no really good double blind studies or clinical trials that I know of however there is enough good studies that make me want to use no aluminum cookware in my kitchen. That being said their are many if not most restaurants that use aluminum cookware so some is unavoidable as I will not stop eating out. I just do not need to add any more to my diet than necessary.
In addition there is new research that is indicating that Alzheimer's is killing more of us than we thought. Based on the new research Alzheimer's could soon be considered the 3rd highest rank for causes of death in the US behind heart disease then cancer. It has been found that although many people have on their death certificate and the apparent cause of death things like a heart attacks it is being uncovered that many of the real causes of death for many are Alzheimer's. Kinda scary.
