We use ScanPan which is an aluminum base coated with ceramic-titanium and it is bulletproof (scratchproof), non leaching, etc. See http://www.scanpancookware.com/pages/scanpan-background-pv-c0-6.html?zenid=912ea30ad854e55b20c7e18834851dee

Where did you ever get the idea that it's okay to cook in this garbage? Yes to stainless and stove top glass, but Teflon and aluminum - who are you trying to infect?

Antacids quite often contain aluminum trisilicate as does buffered aspirin. Foods containing aluminium based additives include dry cake mixes, pastries and croissants made from frozen dough, processed cheeses, some donuts and waffles, check muffins for E541 (sodium aluminum phosphate), and food coloring. The list of substances containing aluminium salts is quite depressing, it even includes *toothpaste*!, especially tooth whitening products. The use of aluminum in drinking water is starting to be looked at in Canada and Australia, most utilities in Europe and the United States do exceed the recommended level of 100 microgrammes per litre, some by as much as *sixty times!* Another obvious and easily avoided source is aluminum cooking pots and pans, this can be quite easily remedied by using enamelled, stainless steel and cast iron pots. Cooking in earthenware and glass containers is another option. There is no need to throw out all of your aluminium pots, it is OK to fry food in aluminium pans and intact Teflon, non-stick coatings will effectively prevent any contamination. http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts22.html * Virtually all food, water, air, and soil contain some aluminum. * The average adult in the U.S. eats about 7-9 mg aluminum per day in their food. * Breathing higher levels of aluminum dust in workplace air. * Living in areas where the air is dusty, where aluminum is mined or processed into aluminum metal, near certain hazardous waste sites, or where aluminum is naturally high. * Eating substances containing high levels of aluminum (such as antacids) especially when eating or drinking citrus products at the same time. * Children and adults may be exposed to small amounts of aluminum from vaccinations. * Very little enters your body from aluminum cooking utensils. http://www.holisticvetpetcare.com/pdf/Heavy_Metal_Posion_Hair_Analysis-4.pdf This site has some good information on it and lists foods that contain significant aluminum. Rice, wheat, beef, chicken, pork, radishes and potatoes all contain significant amounts of aluminum, and carrot leaf contains large amounts. Unfortunately I am unable to copy from the page. Apparently if you want an aluminum free diet about all you can consume is distilled water, and pure chemicals such as salt, cream of tarter, citric acid and sodium bicarbonate.
