You can send all your aluminum and non-stick to me.

The original studies that gave rise to the aluminum nonsense was
flawed; there is no research currently that connects aluminum with
Alzheimer's.

Non-stick surfaces, when old and flakey, should be discarded. Until
then, there's nothing wrong with using them at recommended temperatures
(which don't include extremely high heat - read the directions).
