Copper bottoms lead to copper poisoning. Aluminum leads to an overabundant supply of aluminum in the system, besides that acidic foods absorb lots of it (notice your aluminum pot after cooking tomato sauce). Silverstone, wonderful for non-stick cooking, has no known effects, YET. Does iron cookware lead to iron poisoning? What type of pots should I be using? Please reply by mail and I will post a consensus to the net. lizard@nbires
