Cooking food in aluminum utensils can be harmful to our health. When acidic and sour foods like tomatoes, lemons, and vinegar are cooked in aluminum, they can react with the metal, leaching harmful elements into the food. This increases the amount of aluminum in the body, which has been linked to neurological problems, bone weakness, and other health issues. Aluminum exposure can potentially lead to conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and osteoporosis. To avoid these risks, it’s advisable to use safer alternatives such as stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic cookware, especially when preparing acidic dishes. By choosing healthier cooking utensils, you can minimize aluminum exposure and protect your health.
