Pablo, only after sending this off did I read the signature at the
bottom of your post. Obviously you have a professional platform to
speak from in these matters.
If my reply sound disrespectful, my apologies. It just that I AM
worried about that visible rub-off to anything put into such a can;
regular use for medications must mean that you´re literally eating
aluminum (metallic or an oxide/hydroxide) all the time.
Also: is the suspected Alzheimer connection really refuted now? At
least in Sweden, it was written about a lot just a few years ago?

Aluminum is perfectly safe Per.
Yep, one wouldn´t drop dead from eating medicals stored in such a
can, and millions of people (myself included) cook in aluminum
casseroles without problems.
Only, my Al film cans at least have a rough inside surface that
will rub off and make anything tossed around in it covered with a
silver-grey deposit. Also, aluminum is suspected to accelerate the
onset of Alzheimer´s, something I can very easily do without...
But those gasketed Al cans are great for carrying a few emergency
matches & c when backpacking or canoeing.
