Aluminum Foil | Fatal ConveniencesTM
b'
Aluminum foil has been used for decades for storing, cooking, and even\\xa0grilling food. It has been marketed as cheap, reusable, and even an\\xa0environmentally friendly alternative to plastic wrap, but is it really as safe as\\xa0we think it is? Aluminum can leach into our food and overexposure can have\\xa0some detrimental effects not only on our health, but on the environment.
Many of us have probably grown up with aluminum foil as a staple in our kitchen, without ever thinking twice about using it. That\\u2019s why in the latest episode of Fatal Conveniences\\u2122, we\\u2019re going to explore the harm it\\u2019s causing for both your body and the environment, as well as simple alternatives you can swap into your kitchen instead.
