Not everyone agrees that aluminum is toxic. I bought into that idea for
many years, but now I've gone back to the old Adelle Davis idea that it is
stainless steel that can be toxic, if it has ever had to be scoured.
Anodized aluminum is what I have now, but if I could have found them, I'd
have plain aluminum. Adelle Davis always said aluminum just pases right on
through the body.
There is some interesting info linking some of this stuff to fertilizer use.

And some mineral imbalances may even be responsible for mad cow:

## Aluminum forms a whitish very hard inert oxide layer in only a few
days. Some strongly acid foods will shine it back up, so cooking tomato
sauce in aluminum probably isn't a grand idea. Strong bases dissolve it
fast. Don't get lye near aluminum.
Aluminum is the 3rd most common element on Earth. It simply can't be
avoided, but it's also almost never in its pure form.
After years of living with allergic skin reactions, I have simply decided
for me, I'd rather do something that may or may not be risky (aluminum
cookware) than continue on in constant skin rashes and constant heavy
antihistamine use, and even having to use cortisone ointments, etc.
In the case of distilling, I just don't know. Wouldn't any metals distill
out and be left behind? As I see it distilling is a whole other thing than
metals leaching into foods/liquids heated/cooked in SS cookware.
## Using a stainless 'cooking' chamber to make water vapor should be
OK. If the condensation tube part is stainless, I suppose the distilled
water could pick up a little nickel. DW is a little bit corrosive, but then
nickel is one of the tougher things to corrode which is what makes
stainless steel stainless.
I rather doubt that anything else is used in commercial DW operations.

Stainless steel comes in a variety of grades.
Will water from a stainless still that reads about 0.4 PPM TDS have a
significant amount of nickel or iron in it?
