If it was confirmed dangerous, the FDA in America would have banned Aluminium foil Years ago:
Ill go with this from the Washington Post. i still like spuds wrapped in foil, had two for dinner lst night:. I guess you can find contrary views if you look.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/23/AR2006052300366.htmlI have heard that cooking in aluminum pots and pans can be dangerous. But what if they're made of hard-anodized aluminum?
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust. Widely distributed in soil, plants and water, including our food and drinking water, it is impossible to avoid. According to Health Canada, that nation's public health agency, about 95 percent of an adult's daily intake of aluminum comes from food. And less than 1 percent of all ingested aluminum is absorbed by our bodies.
The suspicion of a relationship between aluminum and (take your choice) Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's or Parkinson's disease has been floating around for about 20 years. The brains of some Alzheimer's patients have been found to contain abnormally high concentrations of aluminum, but nobody knows whether that is a cause of the disease or a result of it.
Because Alzheimer's is a chronic disease that develops over a long period of time, the long-term ingestion of aluminum in drinking water, which is relatively easy to monitor, should be a logical way to search for a correlation. And yet, epidemiological attempts to link aluminum in drinking water with Alzheimer's disease have been either inconclusive or contradictory.
There is little doubt that whatever aluminum leaks into our foods from cookware is a small fraction of the aluminum we ingest through normal eating, drinking and breathing on our aluminum- pervaded planet.
