    I think stainless steel pressure pots are less common. Living at 2000 meters, I Al-pressure lots of foods but not acidic ones.

    No discussion of possible aluminum health risks would be complete w/o Alzheimers:

    TL;DR Some studies have found links between aluminum exposure, and others have not. Lifetime exposure to elevated levels of aluminum is sensibly to be limited where possible. I reckon that people involved in refining and recycling industries are the most exposed. Some countries have limits on [Al] in water and food, but I have not looked for lists.

    ==
    This element is 3rd most abundant in Earth’s crust after oxygen and silicon. There are many exposure pathways. I reckon that vaccine adjuvants dominate lifetime aluminum exposure for approximately no one.
