Aluminium Cookware: Toxic or Not?

  • Aluminium is the most common metal on the earth's crust. In fact, 8% of the earth's surface is Aluminium. It's everywhere - in the water you drink, it's in the soil, in vegetables you eat, in medicines you take.
    So we ingest aluminium all the time, so the real question is - does the extra bit of aluminium that leaches from your vessels into your food somehow cross into toxic territory.

    Aluminium is a highly reactive metal. While this is normally a bad thing for cookware, pure Al instantly reacts with atmospheric oxygen and create a barrier coating of Aluminium Oxide which acts as a strong protective coating. Aluminium oxide is strong stuff - it takes a very substantial acid to break it down, and if the food you are consuming is that acidic, the extra Al consumed is among the least of your problems.

    • @0m13
      @0m13 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      Define "highly reactive", because it is Oxygen which is highly reactive -- it is the second most electro-negative element after Fluorine; so nearly every metal is going to form an oxide (e.g. rust over Iron). One cannot assert something is highly reactive based on interaction with Oxygen alone. If one is worried about strong acids, the acid in our stomach (HCl, with pH that can go as low as 1.0) is stronger than most things one would ingest unless one is gulping down HCl or H2SO4.

      ​@0m13 I guess you misread the first line, He's talking about metals. Aluminum is a highly reactive METAL. Reactivity can be measured and grouped into three broad categories (Reacts with Water, Reacts with Acid, and Highly Unreactive)
      Aluminum comes at the top list of Reactions with Acid, hence it is a highly reactive metal
      And what I guess the original comment meant was Aluminum being reactive will produce an Aluminum Oxide layer which will prevent any Aluminum-Food contact in the first place so no Aluminum contamination for the food

    As someone who likes sour dishes and has no problem with leftovers, I never used to like the tomato saar reacting with the aluminum pot the next day. I also loved to scrape off and eat the browned bits of biryani at the bottom. I started cooking biryani in the oven in aluminum trays covered with foil and I noticed the steam from the biryani collecting on the foil, melting off holes in the foil and depositing it onto the biryani.
    Aluminum cookware is a rarity in the US because of an autopsy that found aluminum deposits in the brain of a man with Alzheimer’s. Aluminum is a biological toxin. Yes, the body eliminates it, but for some people due to unknown causes which increase blood-brain barrier permeability, it lets aluminum deposit in the brain. Also, parents and grandparents used other dishes besides aluminum, like clay pots.
    In my opinion, dishes that have a lot of oil don’t readily allow the acid to react with the aluminum. Because of other available options, I have transitioned almost entirely away from aluminum and I am happy to not have any cookware that reacts with and leaches into my food.

    Utterly bs. This video has just debunked myths. But it fails to understand why aluminum is bad on our gut. Our gut bacteria are programed to digest heavy metals. Unfortunately aluminum is not one of them. Even copper and other heavy metals likes iron are in excess very harmful. The reason why it is still recommended even in the west to cook on a cast iron is the because it leaks iron. But our body needs to lot more iron than the utensils leak in the food. So iron gets utilized. So is gold, silver and brass. Eating on a gold silver or brass utensils is recommended but not recommended to cook on it. Because then it will leak a lot that might become harmful. So is the case of copper. It's only recommended to drink 8 hour old water from copper utensil, any longer and there is a chance that copper leakage in water might be higher. Aluminum is also very highly toxic like copper but it leaks less comparatively. But the moment you start cooking sour things or long cooking it is extremely dangerous. The reason is aluminum is not digested in body, so it might leave our body or it might get stored in body. Disturbing our body structure at a cellular level. All these mass marketed products came from the west. Milk, aluminum, wheat exactly during industrial and green revolution. Anything that's directly toxic is easy to manage like copper, but the things which are slow in toxicity becomes the problem as they are bad but slow, so they become a part of lifestyle. But eventually our body gets destroyed. This video is very ignorant towards all these areas

    @krishashok first of all thanks for debunking the myth. Even I am the one trying to avoid AL in cooking. But I have more deeper question to this one.
    I was using AL pressure cooker & Kadhai (not a plated one). The reason I stopped using was it gets blackish from inside and when trying to wash I could see the blackish or greyish water after scrubbing with steel gauze.
    I am a lot worried about if it can come in day to wash then it will also get mixed in food.
    Would you be able to shed some light on this one?

      Google "Lead Safe Mama". She does consumer goods testing with xrf technology. She found that in most pressure cooers except very few exceptions have pressure valves that contain lots of lead. The Indian ones she tested tested all positive for lead. Moreover cast Aluminium is aso very often lead conterminated. Personally I don't use AL at all in cooking, but when I read the comment section I discovered pretty much 99% of people are very fond of it and are very happy to getting the comforting news in the video. I beg to differ, haha, but that's just me.😂 But no matter if people like AL or not, in terms of pressure cookers folks, please look up this information. It's no laughing matter. One question, I have though. Many people in the coment section thank the host for the scientific debunking. What part of it was especially scientific? Just him saying that? 😅😅😅 Whatever, that's just me, a random bloke on the internet.

    Something to also consider is the origin of the cookware and the quality of the aluminum used. Is it food grade aluminum made in a reputable factory from a reputable source? Or is it recycled from who knows what? There are videos on TH-cam of artisanal cookware makers in India where they would use all kinds of aluminum scraps, from bicycle components to car engine intake manifolds, radiators, electric conductors; anything aluminum would all go together in a furnace to melt and become cookware. The problem with this is many of these parts are made of different alloys containing other metals to give them specific properties such as tensile strength, resistance to cracking from heat cycles, high pressure, etc. They can include various levels of tin, lead, zinc, silver, copper, chromium, iron, and other metals. Some of these parts may be welded or brazed together, introducing even more contaminants. While it is technically possible to separate aluminum from these other metals, it was clear in the videos I've seen that they were not doing that at all. The melted aluminum would become discs that would be pressed to form cookware and that was that. You don't really know what's in there and what can leach into food later.
