Default aluminum cooking pots

But all life on the planet is in the crust, not the core, and the
aluminum part of the crust still outweighs all life. Being only in the
crust actually strengthens the argument, as it raises the Al
concentration that life must have dealt with for aeons, from before
multicellular life evolved, billions of years ago. Hominids are only a
few million years old. I'll keep my aluminum pots and pans.


Note that I'm not the one who raised questions of possible toxicity; I only
pointed out the gustatory unsuitability of aluminum cooking vessels for acidic
foods.
