Without reviewing the salient body of literature regarding effects of Al on humans I'll just say: I believe Aluminum in humans is bad.... Any amount. So I don't use Al cookware or Al forks and spoons ya find when third worlding it. Also, potable water tanks. Ya know its kinda like using Al stranded wire in your AC and DC boat system. Now why would you NOT want Al wire, ANY amount, on your boat?????? But like I said b4 lots will say at 8 ppm it aint no problemo. Good on mate for your tuff life style. Sorry, I wont drink an 8 ppm solution of cyanide either. Best o luck. Go with 316L for any size boat. Im not rich, in fact I take home $2000/mo and my boat gets the best. Now why would I do that?

Interesting as most of the 3rd world cooks using aluminum pots and alzimers (which was one of the most common ailments attributed to aluminum) doesn't seem to be a major problem.

Correlation is not causation. The studies that started the aluminum scare-mongering showed that alzheimers victims had raised levels of aluminum in the plaques in their brains. It didn't show that exposure to aluminum caused alzheimers. Considering the amount of aluminum that people are exposed to from natural sources, it's very unlikely that aluminum is a cause or even a factor in Alzheimers. There are people that are allergic to aluminum, and there are health risks of excessive aluminum consumption. But you get more aluminum from a couple of antacids than you do from years of drinking out of a water tank. Hey there, Its not the same stuff Good luck and have fun. I support your right to eat anything you want.................uh, that is untill I have to start paying for your choices through increased taxes or increased insurance rates. Live long and prosper.

I don't believe it's a particular problem either, BUT yours isn't a great argument as the 3rd world doesn't *store* food in aluminum containers. You are right. "Storing food" ,other then the year's rice crop, is usually either over night or until someone happens to feel peckish. Bruce in Bangkok (brucepaigeATgmailDOTcom) |

Cheers Marty Hi All...... Ya I guess I your right. Really cant argue against, "we are exposed to lots of it so it cant be harmful." Pretty air tight case Id say. Maybe we should also use that argument for lead and mercury. We could go back to lead water supply pipes and using mercury as a medicine. Oh, and welders shouldn't mind welding galvanized (zinc) materials cause we get zinc in our One-A-Day vitamins. Gee, if zinc is in our vitamins its got to be okay to breath the vapors when welding. You know, if some is good, more is better! Once again, someone here offered a bit of conservative advice and then the majority here said, Al is safe cause we all use it. How liberal is that.....?! Lets see, everybody is smoking pot. I should smoke pot too. A little wont do anything. Besides, the US gov always over exaggerates safety levels. However, I did feel somewhat compelled to offer a safer more conservitive alternitive. Regardless......... Im sticking with 316L water tanks..... Oh, I also use AWAB hose clamps. Why, cost-labor-life curves make them the cheepest to buy. AWAB hose clams the cheepest?!?!?!? No way say the liberals. But a conservatve will understand and see the savings. Bob |
