How much comes out in water, or in a frypan? 

My still is made of stainless, and when the pot is clean I get  0.4 PPM TDS.
I wonder how much of that is nickel and chromium?

But is there any REALLY safe alternative?  Stainless Steel contains chromium
and
nickel. Nickel is toxic, and can actually eat holes in your stomach, and
chromium can be in two forms. The trivalent and hexavalent.  Apparently
according to the movie "Erin Brockovich" (
http://www.mindfully.org/Water/Chromium-4800-Systems-Test.htm ) trivalent is
not
too bad but the hexavalent form is horribly toxic to animals and humans.
