Healthy Cookware options.

I've been trying to make healthier choices in my life after watching a parent and other family members battle with Alzheimer's. My parents always cooked with Magnolite or cast iron pots growing up. I have pretty much done the same.
I'm looking for maybe a healthier stock pot or dutch oven to cook gumbo, soups, etc. Also, looking for a new set of cookware.
I may be looking too much into this since I have always used aluminum foil to cook with as well. I do have butcher paper that I could start using more. Still kind of researching to see if my change of cooking pots is logic.
Thoughts?

are you implying that cooking with cast iron causes Alzheimer's?
Posted on 11/29/23 at 8:25 am to hubertcumberdale
No, I am not implying that. Alzheimers is more related to genes or a head injury.
I was more inquiring about cooking with aluminum and non-stick pans(like Teflon).

I've never heard of Alzheimers being linked to cast iron. Please cite study

I probably should have worded my post differently. I'm not implying that cast iron is related to causing Alzheimers.
I am going to continue to cook with my cast iron.
Just looking to see if cooking with carbon steel or ceramic is a better option over aluminum.
More less just came here for a discussion. I figured I would get some down votes.

Some suspect that aluminum cookware has a link to Alzheimers, but nothing has been proven conclusively.

Stainless steel with a little olive oil.

I primarily use stainless steel and cast iron. I never use the coated non-stick cookware types.

throw all your non stick cookware away
you need only this:
-a large enameled cast iron pot with lid
-one large SS skillet with lid
-one medium SS skillet with lid
-two medium SS saucepans with lids
-one medium cast iron skillet
-two or three aluminum half sheet pans
-two or three porcelain, Pyrex or steel roasting/casserole pans

Plastic in a microwave is probably much worse.

It's not the pot, but what's in the pot. Eat cleaner
