Aluminum Cookware - Is It Really Dangerous?
from:Should the debate surrounding the association between aluminum and Alzheimer's disease be concern when considering the use of aluminum cookware in your kitchen?
Reports from both the EPA and Health Canada indicate that there has been no identifiable link between Alzheimer's disease, or other neurological diseases, and the ingestion of aluminum. However, it has been suggested that aluminum may have an affect on those who already have the disease.
An article posted by Health Canada titled "The Safe Use of Cookware" indicates that people ingest on average about 10 milligrams of aluminum per day in total, most of which is from the food that we eat. Aluminum pots and pans contribute about 1 or 2 milligrams only of that daily intake. The World Health Organization has estimated that adults can consume more than 50 milligrams of aluminum daily without harm.
What does need to be considered, however, is that aluminum cookware that is worn or pitted will dissolve more aluminum than those that are maintained and replaced regularly. As well, leafy vegetables and acidic foods such as tomatoes and citrus products will absorb more aluminum than other foods.
It also should be noted that other metals used in cookware allow for the absorption of different minerals into food, including stainless steel. The NSF and other health and safety organizations have rigorous standards to ensure that the materials used for cookware and other household products are safe for use by consumers.
As it stands, there really shouldn't be a concern with the use of aluminum cookware within the home, at least no more than any other material.
