Aluminum cookware?!
Aluminum cookware?
okay, i'd like to settle this question - is aluminum cookware poisoness or harmful to our body? if so, why manufacturers still making them? i also noticed from many cook shows, most restaurant chefs cooking with the aluminum pans? please show me articles or scientific proof yes or no.
Answers: Some studies of Alzheimer's disease found higher-than-normal concentrations of aluminum in the brains of affected people. More recent studies have indicated that aluminum doesn't cause Alzheimer's disease. The last I heard, zinc and tin are now suspected to be related to Alzheimer's. So it seems like there is a lot of uncertainty. My feeling is why chance it when the scientific community is waffling on this. I just cook in stainless steel pots and pans and cast iron skillets and dutch oven. Iron is an essential nutrient, so why not just cook in iron and relax? It seems senseless to show you "scientific proof", since one can cite scientific proof pro or con. And sometimes it seems like everything the FDA says is eventually shown to be wrong. So I think it's best to use your own judgement, and ask yourself whether it makes sense to potentially ingest elements that biological evolution has aparently decided do not belong in the living organism. Aluminum is one of the most abundant elements in the earth's crust. Why is it apparently not a constituent of living tissue? Maybe nature knows something that even learned scientists don't know.

cyril Some people think that aluminum is related to giving you the disease that makes you forget things. I don't think there is any proof.
Think about all the sodas people drink with aluminum cans. Don't worry about it. What was the question again? LOL It is rumored to be linked to alzheimers and parkinsons. But I just looked and can't seem to find anything that firmly states this as fact. It is my understanding that the reason aluminum cans aren't suspect is because of the polymers they are coated with, befor filling. I did read that acidic foods like tomatoes sauces have a higher amount of leached aluminum.
