I agree with most of what Ras is saying here. But, to take this off in
another tangential area (I seem to be good at that these days, don't I?),
I am trying to figure out whether or not I should be concerned about my
aluminum cookware. I have old sets of Wearever cast aluminum cook ware
that belonged to my grandmother, (which I love) and other various pieces
of bakeware that is also aluminum. There have been several studies
linking aluminum to Alzheimer's disease. When someone commented about 10
years ago that I should get rid of all my aluminum stuff, I said
something to the effect of "No way in Hell". But, in the intervening
years, I have heard more about this, including a recent study of
Alzheimer's victims that found aluminum in all of them. (Sorry, don't
have names, dates, facts and figures here, but could turn them up.) Now,
I assume the study had control cases of non Alz. sufferers that showed
lower levels of aluminum, or it wouldn't have been much of a finding. We
use aluminum in our everyday lives, most notably in our underarm
deodorant/antipersperant (it's the antipersperant). It also occurs in
many other cosmetics and health and beauty items. My family does not
have a history of Alz. disease, (cancer and heart disease is more our
speed), but, should I be concerned and change over to all stainless,
glass, corningware, etc?
How many studies should I need to believe it as a threat?
What think you all?
