Why can't I use aluminum foil for cooking

According to the study, published in the International journal of electrochemical science, should think twice, before you cook food in aluminum foil. Scientists came to the conclusion that cooking food in foil, the aluminum part can penetrate into your food.





"Use aluminum foil in cooking provides an easy channel for the penetration of metal in the human body", - stated in the results of the study. During the experiment, scientists studied the effect of foil on a variety of products during their preparation.

The human body is effectively able to output small amounts of aluminum, therefore, the minimum exposure of metal on the body is not a problem. The world health organization (who) has approved the daily doses of aluminium consumption, harmless to health.

"However, most people consume a dose of aluminum that exceeds the safe rate, "wrote in a recent article, researcher Gad, Bassioni.

This is partly due to the fact that aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust — are also often found in several foods and spices. Another area of use of aluminum is kitchen utensils. For example, pots and pans coated with aluminum layer. Most of the cooking utensils are oxidized to prevent the ingress of metal into the food, however, according to Bassioni, the process of washing over time, negates this effect.

In addition, aluminium sulphate is used as coagulant in the purification process of drinking water. According to the who, this method "may lead to increased concentrations of aluminium in treated water."

Now scientists are looking for evidence of how destructive is the aluminium to the human body. Bassioni points: some researchers came to the conclusion that high consumption of aluminium may cause considerable harm to the people suffering from kidney failure, and certain bone. It is also proven that excess levels of aluminum reduces the rate of growth of brain cells.

Researchers have linked high levels of aluminum with the development of Alzheimer's diseaseand that leads them to the idea — such a state can be called the modern disease, caused by the industrialization of the planet.

The research team, Bassioni came to the conclusion that the use of aluminum in pans is less harmful than cooking in aluminum foil. Similar because the process of deoxidation takes place gradually and in fact it can even be circumvented. For example, sikipedia several times the water in the new pot, you create a matte layer that prevents the penetration of aluminum into the food.

Aluminum foil is designed for one time use. The individual sheets are not reused, so there is no possibility to create a protective layer before cooking. Due to the volatile properties of aluminum in the cooking process chemical reactions occur, leading to interference with food — in particular, with highly acidic products.

"This study shows that aluminum foil should not be used for cooking, "writes in the conclusion, Bassioni. "Instead, for baking we recommend you to use glassware or porcelain".
