At >least in Sweden, it was written about a lot just a few years ago? Aluminum may be light, but it is classified as a heavy metal, in that it's molecular structure is large and complex. Like lead, it does not leave the body once it enters. In fact it tends to settle in places that cause all kinds of problems like Alzheimers. Do yourself a favour and throw out all your aluminum cooking stuff and replace with stainless steel. Stop using aluminum based underarm deodorants. Do not keep anything like drugs in an aluminum container. -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits - Powerlet, Posi-Lock I'm a BMW rider and enthusiast.
