- The other night as I finished steaming rice in my aluminum cookware, my
- roomie starts telling me about how bad aluminum cookware is. It's putting
- aluminum oxide in the body, causing all kinds of health problems, the most
- significant of which is the increase in susceptibility to Alzheimer's
- disease. She went on to say that anything with aluminum compounds in it
- (deoderant, too) that we put anywhere near something we may consume/absorb
- contributes to this.
-
- While I'm used to dismissing most of the health paranoia of my roomies, I
- seem to have heard this one elsewhere and I want to know if I should maybe
- invest in some cookware made out of a different material.
