>Aluminum is definitely not a BIFL product

IDK, A LOT of restaurants have aluminum pots that they use many times a day for decades. While you may not like aluminum for a number of reasons, but an aluminum pot that is not abused will probably outlast any of us.

Aluminum is a toxic metal to humans. If the cookware is uncoated, the aluminum can leach into your food.

Just because a restaurant has been using the same pot/pan for decades doesn't make it safe, it just means they have been using the same pot/pan for decades.

Millions of aluminum pots are used everyday.... A couple of micrograms of aluminum in your diet, everyday, is not going to hurt you. Your body can presses and expel many milligrams of aluminum a day, through sweat and urine. Your body can process much more aluminum than you are going to get from cooking in a pan.

Regardless, the pots should last your whole life. If they are overly toxic (which they are not), they will still last your, possibly shortened, life.
