Hi,
I bought an aluminium pressure cooker. After I cooked tap water
several times (up to 8 hours), there is still some white aluminium
powder on the cooker bottom. There is also powder traces on the cooker
inside near the upper water level. I think it is not good to have
aluminium powder in the food. Do you know how to make the inside of
the cooker hardened quickly? Thank you very much.

ALUMINUM
Scientists have found abnormally high amounts of aluminum, zinc, and
other metals in brain tissue of people having Alzheimer's. Many of the
symptoms of aluminum toxicity mimic those of Alzheimer's disease and
osteoporosis. Colic, rickets, gastrointestinal problems, interference
with the metabolism of calcium, extreme nervousness, anemia,
headaches, decreased liver and kidney function, memory loss, speech
problems, softening of the bones, and aching muscles can all be caused
by aluminum toxicity.
Good advice:
1. Do not cook or store food in aluminum containers.
2. Do not use aluminum foil in the process of cooking or storing
food.
3. Don't use anti-perspirants because it almost always contains some
form a aluminum (aluminum chlorohydrate, Aluminum Zirconium
Tetrachlorohydrex, etc.). Use a natural deodorant instead. Remember,
odor is caused primarily by bacteria. If you kill the bacteria, you
eliminate the odor. I use a Tea Tree oil -based deodorant and it works
great.
4. Don't cook with food containing Aluminum. Check the ingredient
list. Many grain based foods have aluminum added. Check cookies and
cookie mixes, breads and bread mixes, baking power/soda, etc. I have
even found aluminum in certain brands of coffee creamers (usually the
dry powdered type).
5. Several medications contain high amounts of aluminum. Check "milk
of magnesia" and other stomach/digestive related medications such as
tums & rolaids.

COMMISSION IN DOCKET CASE NO. 540, WASHINGTON, D.C.
* Boiling water in aluminum produces hydroxide poison.
* Boiling an egg in aluminum produces phosphate.
* Boiling meat in aluminum produces chloride.
* Frying bacon in aluminum produces a powerful narcotic acid, which in
large doses causes comas, or in excessive doses causes death.
* All vegetables cooked in aluminum produce hydroxide poison, which
neutralizes the digestive juices, robbing them of their value to
digest food, producing stomach and gastrointestinal trouble, such as
stomach ulcers, and colitis.
* Aluminum poison will produce acidosis, which destroys the red cells
producing a condition similar to anemia.
* The sale of aluminum cooking utensils is prohibited in Germany,
France, Belgium, Great Britain, Switzerland, Hungary and Brazil.
Q: I HAVE HEARD THAT ALUMINUM COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. Why
do they make cookware that permits food to come in contact with
aluminum?
A: THERE IS A LOT OF SPECULATION THAT ALUMINUM CAUSES VARIOUS HEALTH
AILMENTS. The jury is still out on this one.
The FDA also forbids the use of aluminum utensils to store dairy
products.
Aluminum is quite porous an the chemical reactions that take place
while cooking make it more pitted with age. In addition, all
vegetables cooked in aluminum produce hydroxide poison, which
neutralizes the digestive juices, robbing them of their value to
digest food, producing stomach and gastrointestinal trouble, such as
stomach ulcers and colitis. Foods cooked in Anodized aluminum
(hardened aluminum) have the same result.
Source experts are now stating that the way you cook your food and
what you cook your food on CAN and is just as important as what you
eat.
More than half (52 percent) of all cookware sold today is made of
Aluminum, according to Cookware Manufacturers Association executive
vice President Paul Uetzmann. But most of these aluminum pots and pans
are coated with nonstick finishes or treated using a process that
alters and hardens the structure of the metal. In the 1970s, Canadian
researchers reported that the brains of Alzheimer?s disease victims
contained abnormally high levels of aluminum. The studies stirred a
controversy about whether aluminum is the cause or result of the
disease. At the same time, many concerned consumers discarded their
natural aluminum cookware. Stephen Levick, M.D., from Yale University
School of Medicine in Newhaven, Conn., wrote in a letter to the editor
of the New England Journal of Medicine, out with my corroded aluminum
pots.Dr. Levick has thrown away his pots and pans. Researchers still
are investigating the connection between aluminum and Alzheimer's
disease. But according to Creighton Phelps, Ph.D., director of medical
and scientific affairs at the Alzheimer's Association, much recent
data support the theory that brains already damaged by Alzheimer?s
disease may permit entry of abnormally high levels of aluminum.

You likely are looking at calcium deposits from the water. Put some
vinegar in the water to dissolve it, or boil some cream of tartar in
water in it. Should clean it right up.

That isn't aluminum you're seeing. It's mineral deposits from the
water. Other than washing it once, there is nothing required of
your pot before you use it.
