Didn't know this, but I use foil to cover up my foods. Putting in oven as well to cook I admit. Wow

My goodness, I never knew this! Honestly I only use aluminum foil for the holidays anyway but this is certainly good to know.

Aluminum foil is a neurotoxin
Aluminum foil can contribute to bone disease
Aluminum foil can promote pulmonary fibrosis


Written by Liivi Hess from:

The fact also remains that aluminum foil is not fully inert; food cooked or prepared in it has been shown to have significantly higher levels of aluminum than if they were prepared in another medium. The takeaway is simple: aluminum foil has the potential to cause neurotoxic effects, including Alzheimer’s disease.
A direct link between aluminum ingestion and Alzheimer’s disease, a debilitating neurological disorder.

Leaching of harmful aluminum compounds was by far the highest when acidic foods like lemon juice or tomatoes were coming into contact with aluminum foil, and this was often further exacerbated by the use of spices.

For cooking, where one might use foil to enclose baked potatoes or fish, I simply used a ceramic dish with a lid. The effect is exactly the same, it’s just that ceramic doesn’t leach compounds into our food! And for baking, I either use glassware or high-quality silicone bakeware that doesn’t require any sort of lining. These materials are much nicer to use, usually produce higher quality dishes and don’t create excess waste. That’s a win-win, if you ask me!

I'll have to try parchment paper for the holiday seasons this year, thanks.

I use parchment paper to wrap potatoes, and to cover my pans.

Plants, line oven, lone toaster oven, line grill .. anything that does not touch food that you eat, that could absorb the poison aluminum.  (Check deodorants for this ingredient also and switch to natural ones.)
