How dangerous is aluminum foil for health?
Nowadays, the use of aluminum foil is quite common in the kitchen of every house. Be it packing tiffin, keeping rotis warm or covering leftover food, aluminum foil is used in every work. But do you know that this thin silver colored sheet can silently harm your health. According to scientists and health experts, if aluminum foil is used incorrectly, it can cause many serious diseases for the body. Let's know the dangers of aluminum foil...
1. Risk of brain diseases
Excessive exposure to aluminum can affect our brain function. Some research has found that excessive amount of aluminum accumulated in the body can increase the risk of neurological diseases like Alzheimer's. By repeatedly heating or storing food in aluminum foil, this element can gradually get into the food.
2. Can weaken bones
When excess aluminum accumulates in the body, it can prevent calcium absorption. This gradually weakens the bones and increases the risk of osteoporosis, especially in women and the elderly.
3. Effect on the digestive system
By storing or cooking food in foil, especially acidic foods (such as tomatoes, lemons, pickles), small particles of aluminum can get into the food. This can cause gas, acidity, constipation and digestion problems in the stomach.
4. Pressure on the kidneys and liver
The kidneys and liver do the work of removing aluminum from the body. If its amount increases, then these organs become overloaded and are unable to function properly. This can gradually impair their function.
5. cancer risk
While there is no concrete evidence yet, some scientific research suggests that long-term exposure to aluminium can damage DNA, increasing the risk of diseases like cancer.
