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
a low melting point :)
and
It’s reactive to high ph, so you have to be careful what you cook in it.
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.
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.
Isn’t aluminum kinda bad too? Like it’s linked to dementia or something.

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 also an incredibly soft metal that is stupidly easy to make holes in.
