We all use aluminum foil in the
kitchen, for cooking, and wrapping, and we often use it to treat some
common ailments. Yet, a recent study has found that there are some
important things we do not know about this kitchen staple.
First of all, aluminum is a neurotoxic heavy metal that has severe side-effects on the function of the brain and has even been associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
According to medical experts, the exposure to this heavy metal might
cause long- lasting adverse effects, including mental decline, and loss
of balance, memory, coordination, and bodily control.
This study has found that cooking with aluminum foil affects the bones, as aluminum builds up inside the bones and takes the space of calcium, reducing its levels.
Numerous people are still unaware of the fact that when aluminum foil
is exposed to high temperatures, it emits parts of the metal into the
food, and the heavy metal might leech in it.
Dr. Essam Zubaidy, a chemical engineering researcher at the American University of Sharjah, has evaluated the effects of aluminum on cooking and found that a meal cooked in aluminum foil can include up to 400mg of aluminum.

Moreover, researchers have related cooking with aluminum foil with
pulmonary fibrosis and other respiratory issues as a result of the
inhalation of aluminum particles. The same effects are achieved in the
case of grilling with aluminum.
