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
