I move to allow aluminum

Post by GuyFawkes »

Don't drink the Kool-Aid

After much, much research, I have yet to find any viable connections between cooking in aluminum and any health hazards. There are risks associated with it, however there are also many greater health risks cooking in copper yet that's the most used material on here (well, debatable I guess, but at least second most).

There are several links between excess aluminum consumption and phosphorous deficiency, however it seems as though cooking in aluminum is not a major cause of this. If I am missing something, please point it out to me, but it seems the greatest cause of these myths is folklore and wives' tales, something I believed myself before research.

I move officially allow aluminum on this site, especially for newbies who want to get started with the least amount of capital (aluminum pots are cheaper than stainless)
Experience is what you get right after you need it.
