I don't use alumin(i)um because I figure they can't have it both ways. When you're anemic, doctors tell you to use cast iron in cooking, that small as the amounts are, they add up.

We need iron in our system. We don't need aluminum. If we can get infinitesimal amounts of iron by cooking in iron pots, we can get infinitesimal amounts of aluminum by cooking in aluminum pots.

For the industry to say that no significant amount of aluminum enters our food, then no significant amount of iron enters our food. They can't have it both ways.

So I don't think that resistance against aluminum is necessarily a sign of significant mental deterioration. :) Ebbie
