Isn’t aluminum kinda bad too? Like it’s linked to dementia or something.
Really old research found aluminum in the plaques once, it was actually from contamination in the water they used to wash the brains for the staining agent.
There's no solid evidence either way.
IMO the biggest problems with aluminum is
and
Do you mean low pH? Acids react with aluminum.
Both low and high ph wreck aluminum. It's honestly not a great cooking vessel
Yea but how many highly basic foods are you cooking?
It's not just cooking that's the problem cleaning it is where I've had most of my trouble. I need to find some stainless steel 1/8 sheet pans. Target sells them in aluminum but every time they start getting grungy, how roll the dice on a little lye to clean them off. I can let them soak for a couple of minutes then basically sand them down to get off deep baked on oils.
That is an untruth. There has never been medical proof of this. It was a citation that was read out of context of one random study on Alzheimer. And the internet misinformationed it to the max. Have you heard that you should buy Baking Soda without Aluminum in it? Lie! Baking Soda has NEVER had Aluminum in it. But people constantly repeat this ridiculous myth. Just another fact to ponder, In many Asian nations, aluminum sauce pans have been used for decades (Japan is a great example), and the level of Alzheimer's is no different than the rest of the world.
Aluminum vapours are toxic and deadly. Apparently they used to make tanks with aluminum, but then tankies who survived a direct hit inhaled some containing it and died from that instead.
It's also an incredibly soft metal that is stupidly easy to make holes in.
The Bradley has it, as well as some earlier tanks that where intended to be light enough to be airlifted or swim across water. Because it's light, it can trade armour for speed. The Bradley not intended to take out tanks, and only has very few anti tank missiles.
