cooking crab in aluminum pots?

I always heard that cooking crab in an aluminum pot was unsafe but it seems that is mostly what is sold on the markets today.  Is this an old wives tale or what.  Can't find anything out on the net regarding it being unsafe....

Must be an old wives tale.

I always heard it was bad to cook in aluminum but all of it out there it couldn't be to bad.

Heard it before and had to look it up and here's what I found:

Interesting stuff.

the link to alzeihmers in regards to aluminum has no merit according to the medical community and as far as I can research I can find no negatives about cooking crab in aluminum............

Go to the kitchen of nearly any restaurant.  Aluminum is mostly what they use.

one of the best crab cooker's I have used was a beer keg with welded handles and a drain spigot added.
