I have no problem with using aluminium bobbins apart from them being very
light in weight. I have no problem with aluminium knitting needles except I
find them too slippery. I see many sets of aluminium crochet hooks on sale,
but use Clover ones.
I did change from aluminium cookware to stainless steel when it was first
suggested that aluminium cookware could put people at risk from Alzheimer's,
but my MIL used aluminium saucepans and developed the condition - her
husband did not.
Now I don't worry as I prefer to rely on those who know what they're talking
about. The Alzheimer's Society in the UK has sensible things to say on the
subject:

I do also have brass bobbins, but they're much too heavy, as are the silver
ones. Having said that, the weight of wooden ones can vary quite a bit, but
as I hold them by the spangles it doesn't bother me as much as it would
someone who handles their bobbins "properly".
