Baking powder is available without aluminum in grocery stores.
It rises just as well, but doesn't leave that green-banana
feeling on your teeth.  I get it in the regular baking powder
sections.

Cheese is available that is not commercially processed.  Try
alta dena, available in the special foods section of grocery
stores.  Or, go to a health food store that carries the 
cheese in bulk -- it's less expensive.

Instead of nondairy creamer, switch to milk or cream.

Use stainless steel and cast iron instead of aluminum.

I can't understand why anyone would use products like baking
powder with aluminum, nondairy creamer or processed cheese
when there are so many good tasting foods in this world!
