Is it safe? Maybe. Maybe not.
The points to consider are this:
1. Aluminum based baking powder provides no particular benefit that cannot be obtain from non-aluminum baking powder.
2. Non-aluminum baking powder is readily available.
3. There is no such thing as an aluminum-deficient diet -- that is, aluminum is not an essential nutrient.
Thus, no particular effort or expense is required to eliminate aluminum-based baking powder. Although you may not derive any benefit from eliminating aluminum-based baking powder, one thing is certain -- you will not be harmed by doing so.
