Do You Cook Your Food With Aluminium Foil? If Yes, You Need To Read This, NOW!
Using aluminium foil has adverse health impact on our body. There are high chances for Alzheimer's disease due to the exposure of aluminium to the brain.
Most of the lip-smacking fried foods out there are packed in aluminium foils. Starting from naan, rotis to what not? These foils are also handy to pack foods when we go out and collectively they serve many purposes. There are certain health risks however that people have been suffering from due to the usage of aluminium foil too often.
Firstly, there are very high chances of the food getting in direct contact with the aluminium foil to absorb the metal. When it's hot, then the chances are way too higher for the metal to percolate into the food.
Using this foil has adverse health impact on our body. There are high chances for Alzheimer's disease due to the exposure of aluminium to the brain. Aluminium gets accumulated in the brain and also in the other nearby tissues present and this further paves a way to neuron-degeneration.
Further, the chances of inhaling small amounts of aluminium is also quite high. This makes it difficult for your body to get rid of the aluminium content that has entered into your body, and it worsens the condition.
Aluminium may have an adverse impact on our bone health as well. The re-mineralization of the bone will be affected by aluminium and thus it leads to lower bone density. This may lead to risks of stroke or heart attack.
There are several different methods by which aluminium can enter into our body stream.
Whenever we uncover a food item that is wrapped in an aluminium foil, some parts of it might be retained in the food, contrary to our vision. Further, the heat generated might also lead to the slow leaching of aluminium into our food. If consumed, this may lead to poisoning and other health effects.
Acidic foods or spices stored in aluminum containers can also aggravate the problem. According to the result published in a recent study, about 400 mg of aluminium can be leached into a meal that is cooked with a tin foil.
How to stop this?
