There seems to be a load of buzz out there regarding the use of aluminum pots and pans. They apparently may cause Alzheimer’s or bone degeneration in women. I have some cast iron pans that I use when ever possible but they are not always practical. I’d like some of you kitchen pros to give me some sound advice regard the use of aluminum in the home kitchen. I know they are used in food service organizations.... I look forward to some informative replys.Thanks in advance.The above answer is correct. The theory that aluminum is linked with alzheimer\'s has been proven untrue. Most every pot and pan is made with aluminum at it\'s core. Rarely do you find a pan with an aluminum cooking surface. Your food only touches the stainless steel or the nonstick. Honestly, it\'s ridiculous to worry about the aluminum inside your fry pan when you apply aluminum directly to your lymph nodes every morning in the form of anti-perspirant.... A pure stainless steel pan will not heat up without the help of copper or aluminum. Copper is pricey and requires elbow grease to keep it looking good. That leaves you with aluminum. almost 100% of pans in people\'s cupboards contain some amount of alum. , if they didn\'t, your water would never boil and your eggs would never fry.I try to avoid cooking acidic ingredients in aluminum such as tomato sauce. If you take a piece of
aluminum foil and lay it on tomato sauce the sauce will begin to eat holes in the aluminum. Boiling water for the pasta for that sauce seems a lot less risky. There have been links between aluminum and Alzheimer\'s so probably better to be safe than sorry. p.s. I usually bake large quantities of tomato sauce in the oven in stainless steel hotel pans. No scorching or aluminum. Invest in a few stainless steel pots for sauces.The link between Alzheimer\'s and aluminum was dis-proven long ago. See the article in the link, from an Alzheimer\'s Association web site.each thing you do in any given day would reason some style of maximum cancers. you may could be residing in a bubble to not be uncovered. of direction, the bubble could be produced from some style of plastic which of direction would desire to divulge you to 3 strand of maximum cancers besides.Your right it\'s like if you drink alot of soda or beer out of aluminum yes it\'s a fact that evetually it can cause health issues,i know i apologize for my spelling and it sucks.Other related question
