Aluminum is excreted via the kidneys. Aluminum
becomes a problem when the water is fluoridated or
if you take prescription meds with fluoride in
them, and there are many meds with fluoride in
them. Fluoride picks up aluminum and carries it
past the blood brain barrier into the brain.
Although aluminum may put a heavier load on the
kidneys, excretion depends on the individual,
their health status and kidney function. Cooking
with aluminum should not be too bad as long as
there are no other chemicals in the cooking water
that cause aluminum to be retained in the body.
India may not be as fluoridated as we are.
There is also the fact that the majority foods in
the US contain fluoride in varying amounts,
including coffee and tea. Any food grown that has
been watered with fluoridated water or processed
with fluoridated water has fluoride in varying
amounts. The USDA site has a list of foods with
aluminum content in them. And every food sold is
not listed, otherwise it would probably be
thousands of pages long, but it gives you a
general idea of the fluoride content of food.
So while the people in India may be safer using
aluminum cookware, I am personally not comfortable
using it.

Dan,
Funny you should mention. When I had to get rid of all my stainless
steel cookware, that included my pressure cooker.
The aluminum pressure cooker that replaced it is made in India.
