Aluminum is used for saucepans, as well as for a lot of other cookware. We know that aluminum transfers heat very well, and it is fairly nonreactive. There are a few folks who think that we can get "aluminum poisoning" from aluminum cookware, but, though we might ingest a trace of aluminum, it is generally nothing to worry about.
Recall that aluminum forms an oxide coating when it is exposed to air. This thin layer, only a few molecules thick, will discourace further oxidation and inhibit further attack on the metal. That's why aluminum stands up fairly well to atmospheric and weather conditions. Make the skin of an aircraft out of aluminum, polish it (to save the cost and the weight of the paint) and start flying. It works very well.
