Do you use aluminum foil to store or bake food? Doctor explains when you need to be cautious
Studies reveal that aluminum foil can leach unsafe levels of metals into food, particularly with acidic, salty, or spicy items cooked at high temperatures. This excess aluminum intake over time may contribute to bone problems, kidney strain, and nerve-related issues. Experts advise using steel, glass, or ceramic containers for storage and avoiding direct contact between foil and certain foods.
