I remember 20+ years ago when they said that using SS utensils in Magnalite pots and pans was the cause of Alzheimer's and dementia. The SS was supposedly shaving pieces of aluminum off the pans and into the foods. It's always something. BTW, I think its still an old wives tale. After 20+ years you'd think there could be some scientific evidence.

There is a simple way to protect from the aluminum poisoning. Just use some sugar or lemon when cooking tomatoes it counter acts the problems. Its all about the PH, which good cooks and chefs like ChefJJ all ready know and counter act . DO you ever cook tomatoes without either a pinch of sugar or a twist of lemon. They call it balancing the acidity.
If you are cooking in something that rusts, Iron, Copper, Aluminum, change to SS for HIGH acidic or salt cooking. Its not brain surgery.
Being just a dumb coonazz country boy, I know you add sugar to tomatoes cause my mom did it makes 'em taste better. Or a squeeze of lemon to make a heavy sauce "Fresher". Its chemistry, but I never was too smart. I just do like Mom and her Mom, they are usually pretty right.
