We all know that the food we eat is important to our health, but did you know that the cookware we use is also very important? Well, it is. Recent studies show that cooking with aluminum can pollute our bodies and cause other health problems. For example, cooking a meal in an aluminum pan adds about 1 to 2 mg of aluminum to your food. If you cook with aluminum pots and pans for a long time, these things can happen to your health. We use aluminum utensils because they are easy to find, light, cheap, and don’t rust. Aluminum also makes vitamins and minerals in food less effective. Read on to learn about other ways that using aluminum utensils is bad for your health.
When you breathe aluminum dust, it hurts you more than when aluminum is dissolved in food. People who work in an environment where there is a lot of aluminum dust for a long time are said to get a cough and have an abnormal chest on X-rays. Also, people with kidney problems may have trouble getting rid of excess aluminum from their bodies. This can cause it to build up, which can lead to bone and brain disorders. But there is still no scientific evidence that aluminum can cause cancer.
The amount of aluminum in your food can be kept to a minimum by not cooking acidic foods like tomatoes in aluminum pots and pans. Also, don’t store leftovers in aluminum dishes or wrap hot foods in aluminum foil, because the food can absorb small amounts of aluminum from those things. Instead of using old aluminum cookware, it’s better to switch to something better In the 1970s, Canadian scientists did research that found a link between eating foods with a lot of aluminum and getting Alzheimer’s disease. High levels of aluminum were found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s. Even though there is no proof that cooking with aluminum pots and pans causes the condition, most people still try to avoid doing so.
Healthy and long-lasting cooking utensils are enamel coated on steel. Coating materials such as enamel, teflon, granite are healthy when produced using the coating technique on steel. When the coating is applied on aluminum, the aluminum that comes out from the material scratched over time is harmful in terms of health. Both the structure of the pan will deteriorate, your meals will be damaged and your health will be badly affected. As Eternity brand, we produce our products by using the coating technique on steel that does not contain aluminum.
