The whole aluminum scare turned out to be simplistic, popular hysteria that grossly misinterpreted a complex disease.

For regular camping and house use, I've gone to stainless steel because it doesn't change the taste of my food as much as aluminum. (Red wine, though, picks up a nasty taste in any metal cup except enamel.)

I keep aluminum pots in my car kits because it's lighter and much more efficient at heat transfer than stainless. (Take a sip from an aluminum cup full of boiling tea and you'll understand.)

If I were hiking ultralight I'd go with aluminum, both for its weight and its thermal efficiency. And, listening to an aluminum pot "hiss" loudly on the stove would be a trip down memory lane. Though I still wouldn't like the way it changes the taste of the tea.

One of these days I'd like to try a hard anodized aluminum pot.
