If you boil a pot full of water for about an hour before you ever use the aluminum pot for beer, it builds up a passive oxide layer (turns the pot a darker color of silver), and you don't have to worry about metallic flavors or any of the other side effects.

+1 Been using an aluminum pot for 5 yrs with no problems. I read somewhere that there’s more aluminum in a TUMS then in 5 gallons of wort after a 90 minute boil. I'll have to wait till I'm 70 or so and if I get Alzheimer’s then I’ll know I was wrong… Wait, what was I saying????
