3 Scary Reasons To Ditch Aluminum Foil
« on: July 22, 2021, 07:45:36 pm »

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

You must work for a plastic wrap company.

Interesting, though I wonder if a lot of other items have risks like too that we just don't think about often

WOW, didn't know all of this.  Aluminum foil should come with warnings like tobacco products do.

This is the first time I have ever heard this before.  People have been using aluminum foil for centuries, and there are poisons in the alum.  Hard to believe.

Thanks for the information, but there are times when nothing works but aluminum foil.  It is great for coating a pan to keep things from sticking.
