Default So how bad is aluminum?

I'm sure this has been asked 234509832540 times on here so sorry, but really....does aluminum REALLY leave an off flavor? (Aluminum pots)

Just to clarify, is this born "necked" as in their head was separated from their torso by a stretch of bone and tissue or "nekkid" as in born with no clothes on?

Inquiring minds want to know! Because I used aluminum several times and all of my children were conceived while I was nekkid and I was wondering about that coincidence.

I also hear from extremely alarmist unreliable sources that may be misleadingly quoted completely out of context citing from questionable second hand source material that is statistically skewed for dramatic purposes that aluminum pots may, or may not, definitely cause alzheimers even though this has been completely disproven in extensive and thorough lab studies.

Hummmmm...good question. I think I was nekkid when I made my boy but the older one, I don't remember.

Yep...must be nekkid...my bad.
