Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum pots and pans can lead to Alzheimer’s disease.

Reality: During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer’s. This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminum through everyday sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants. Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer’s. Experts today focus on other areas of research, and few believe that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat.

Dementia is not a joke please treat it with respect. There are many causes for the condition it is correct to protect your self if you suspect something. Don't be afraid to say no. As a wise person once said better safe than sorry. Simple but profound.

There is a reason we use tin instead of aluminum foil. Now you know.

The clooney machine aka Nespresso coffee maker. The pods... they are raw aluminum. The machine spikes penetrate the aluminum casing and shred microfilaments into the coffee grounds which leaches generous quantities of aluminum into your tap water infusion of coffee commensurate with a suitable does of brain synapse killing fluoride.

We are targeting users of Nespresso coffee machines because they fit the demographic we want to dumb down.
Enjoy your coffee.

Now where did I put that link? :neutral_face:

Also just to clarify, if anyone has these, i take it they do work with Induction hobs, as it says they do, but one reviewer mentioned only half of them did, which would be very odd, and its more than likely that they have a faulty hob?

No info how many lids included..

They're not bad for £11.25 a pan, and the bases are stainless steel, but I was expecting them to be a bit heavier weight. They aren't what I would call 'professional' pans, but maybe a bit better than something Tefal(ish) you would buy off the shelf in a supermarket. They are a present for my mum, so I will be keeping/returning them depending on her delight/not so delight with them...

Picked mine up yesterday. They aren't as heavyweight as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I'll be keeping them tbh, as one is already scratched on the rim.

I really wanted the bases to be more heavy duty.

Sold out now - Sad times!

Collected mine, very impressed.

Has anyone collected/received theirs yet? Thoughts on the pans...?

I am more than aware of Dementia having had many members of my family suffer from it and its very likely I will go the same way. If i wish to make a joke of it I will and will continue to do so until I forget what I was doing in the first place.
I wonder if you remember what free speech is?

Have you got a tape measure out? will you be cooking for one? , Pan sets usually come in 3 with a milk & frying pan extra I waiting for Costco to put a deal on there Kirkland make with lots of pieces for £134.89. I am a member, but anyone can buy online with a small sup put on top & the advantage over Warehouse you can use a CC.
Or as I get 2% cashback you can order with my membership & you wont have a sup to pay. .LOL Your text here

Correct - Featuring a smooth surface and easy-to-grip square handles, they come with a secure fitting stainless steel lid with a easy hold handle for safe cooking.

“Environmental factors possibly include inorganic and organic hazards, exposure to toxic metals (aluminium, copper), pesticides (organochlorine and organophosphate insecticides), industrial chemicals (flame retardants) and air pollutants (particulate matter). Long term exposures to these environmental contaminants together with bioaccumulation over an individual’s life-time are speculated to induce neuroinflammation and neuropathology paving the way of developing AD…”

What About Aluminum and Alzheimer’s?

Professor Exley, a British bio-inorganic chemist at Keele University has described aluminum as a neurotoxin. In the journal Frontiers in Neurology (online, Oct. 27, 2014) he wrote a review titled: “Why Industry Propaganda and Political Interference Cannot Disguise the Inevitable Role Played by Human Exposure to Aluminum in Neurodegenerative Diseases, Including Alzheimer’s Disease”

Professor Exley states:


“The presence of aluminum in the brain must mean that it is inevitable that it will contribute toward any on-going degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or multiple sclerosis, ultimately, resulting in earlier onset and/or more aggressive forms of the disease.”

“In the brain, aluminum will contribute toward neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.”

An article in Toxicology, Jan. 2014 offered these points:


“Epidemiological studies suggest that aluminum may not be as innocuous as was previously thought and that aluminum may actively promote the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Epidemiological data is strengthened by experimental evidence of aluminum exposure leading to excess inflammatory activity within the brain…

“The causation of most of these age-related neurological disorders is not understood but since they are generally not genetic, one must assume that their development is underlain by unknown environmental factors. There is an increasing and coherent body of evidence that implicates aluminum as being one such significant factor. Evidence is outlined supporting the concept of aluminum’s involvement in hastening brain aging. This acceleration would then inevitably lead to increased incidence of specific age-related neurological diseases.”

If you want to poison your body, go ahead. The choice is yours.

How come we have more experts in this country than any other bringing all this tripe out about health issues but still years behind every other country. Pay them the minimum wage and then see what **** they come out with.

Thanks for your review. According to the description they do come with lids!

These are anodized,that means they have a protective oxide layer by an electrolytic process in which the metal forms the anode.
So unless you scrape the hard anodizing off you will not have direct contact with aluminium.The cooking area also has a non stick coating which clings to the anodised surface better than **** to a blanket.
Ive been using mine since they were, very,very expensive, and they still look like new.
Its rather a good price from John Lewis BUT,they dont have lids which will cost a few quid to buy if you want them.

Thanks for asking but my comments remain.

Heating the metal will allow the elements to pass through to your food/liquid...

I'd also better get myself a set to wear as a helmet then!

Thanks - that's my mum's present sorted!

they will last a lifetime if looked after? what's the point if you can't hit people hard with them?

There is now a proven link between Aluminium and Altzeimer's, especially aluminium pans used for cooking.

Was going to order but than read the reviews...

I have been using aluminium pans for years and I'm OK.

Pans. What pans? Hello?

Reviews seems a bit mixed.

Hot. Good price. Only thing that's stopping me is the lids aren't glass/perspex.

Erm these have a thick coating so not sure how the food would come into contact with Aluminium. The issue is related to plain aluminium pans if I remember correctly

Now where did I put that link? :neutral_face:

Please link the research, just about to order!

I would not put these in the dishwasher as it starts to dull then. But non-stick so should be easy to clean :smiley:

Just got these to go with the pans http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/cc-hard-anodised-3pc-oven-tray-set
Not on offer but very good pricing for a set of 3

Thank you

good find op, heat
