Okay -- explain to me, responders, why NOT aluminum? We have 2....we don't know where we got the first one, but the 2nd I picked up at a garage sale for $.25. :) They work FINE and the coffee is hotter. And no, they do NOT cause Alzheimers!!!!
That is an opinion not held by all medical researchers. You can't control everything, but you can control some things. Why push your luck?
"Aluminum has been long known to be neurotoxic, with mounting evidence that chronic exposure is a factor in many neurological diseases, including dementia, autism, and Parkinson's disease."
This is one researcher's opinion, but it is shared by others. There is no consensus of opinion about the link, just lots of controversy.
