Aluminum From Cans?
Hi,
Does anyone have knowledge as to whether or not aluminum or anything undesirable leaches into canned foodstuffs (spaghetti sauce, etc.)? Thanks |

Mmm, I have always heard that you shouldn't cook in unanodized aluminum cookware since it's said to be carcinogenic. Anodized cookware is okay. Aluminum soda cans are coated so they don't present a danger. Tin is okay as long as you don't allow the insides to oxidize. Don't store food in open tin cans. Unleaded glass and ceramic is fine. One exception to glass/ceramic is when the lip/rim area of tumblers and mugs are decorated with lead based (or mercury, chromium, cadmium) colors. I have heard there are issues with PET plastic bottles. Some studies have shown a higher incidence of cancer in factory workers who produce it. It's thought to be attributed to toxic chemicals used in their manufacture. And, of course, you know not to microwave food in plastic containers that are not approved for that purpose. I've also heard that styrofoam releases gas but I don't know how that effects foodstuffs that are contained in them. |

Also, I think food cans are made of steel rather than tin. What's with
all the recipes that suggest cooking in foil? I never do that because a chemistry professor once told the class aluminum isn't good for you. Isn't it found in the brains of Alzheimer's victims?
