- In todays episode we’re going to be addressing aluminium in cookware. Every time I use foil on social media I always get comments about how toxic foil is to the brain and how I shouldn’t be promoting it, given my position as a doctor.
So I decided to review the evidence for these claims with the team and do a thorough dive into this topic and find out if there’s any evidence for these inflammatory comments.
Today we talk about …
What aluminium actually is
How it’s handled by the body
Whether foil leeches aluminium into food
How much the human body can tolerate
And finally, what practical steps we can take to reduce our exposure if you choose to do so

I'm so glad you did this episode. About 20 years ago my mother was looking for an answer to why she had so many migraines. She finally went to a holistic doctor and they did a bunch of blood tests. The Dr said she had high levels of aluminum in her body. She was boiling her tea water in an aluminum kettle! She stopped using that kettle and any other sources of aluminum in her kitchen and diet and her migraines stopped after a few weeks.
It really concerns me about the amount of aluminum in baby formulas.
I think it's also important to recognize (and look into the fact) that many of our favorite restaurants may well be cooking in well-used (and probably scratched) aluminum cookware, so that delicious curry or tomato sauce may not be as healthy for you as you'd like to believe - especially if you eat out frequently. Sauces often sit for hours in pots, or are cooked for hours in pots made of aluminum.
If I choose to use it, I put a layer of parchment paper between the aluminum and the food, especially if tomatoes are included in the recipe. It's less expensive than some of the alternative cookware he mentions. I did replace my aluminum pots with cast iron and stainless steel, though.
I also avoid any deodorants made with aluminum.
Great information and advice. I don't buy much processed food anymore but found aluminum-free baking powder to sometimes be a challenge to find (depending on the store). Definitely important to read labels!
Note baking parchments may be treated with PFA's to make them non-stick.
How about cellophane plastic food wrap? Thank you.
Plastics! Even worse really 😫
@@topchic7475 i just wrap plastic on top of the bowls of food . Is it still ok? Yes, plastic touch the food in the bowl.
I only ever use it to cover stuff in the oven… I can’t imagine it would leach even if it’s not in contact with the food ?????
What about non-stick coatings to pots and pans?
