I’ve had a few conversations with people who say cooking with aluminium foil is completely fine. I wanted to believe that, but I couldn’t see how cooking with that kind of metal could be good. There is a demand for aluminium free products like deodorants, dyes, make up, food, and so much more for a reason; it shouldn’t be in anything we consume or put on us.
Aluminum is naturally occurring in the Earth’s crust. It exists in soil, plants and water, it’s something we can’t completely avoid, but we don’t need to be consuming it.
According to Health Canada, about 95 percent of our aluminum intake comes our from food but only 1 percent is actually absorbed into our bodies.
So is there really a problem here?
Studies show that food cooked in aluminium foil can contain up to more than six times the level of safety for consumption.
Chemical engineering researchers at the American University of Sharjah, found that a single meal cooked in aluminium can have up to 400mg of the metal in it.
