Stop Cooking in Aluminum: Serious Health Risks, Kidney Damage Warned

• Aluminum utensils, common due to affordability and quick heating, pose serious health risks, especially to kidneys.
• Reactive aluminum dissolves into food, particularly with acidic ingredients like tomatoes and tamarind, leading to daily intake of 4-5 mg.
• Accumulation of aluminum in kidneys can slow function, causing kidney stones and damage, worsening existing kidney problems.
• Other risks include brain damage (memory loss, Alzheimer's), weak bones (impaired calcium absorption), and digestive issues like bloating and ulcers.
• Experts recommend switching to safer alternatives like stainless steel, clay pots (preserves nutrients), or iron utensils (provides natural iron).

Why It Matters: Avoid aluminum utensils; they are linked to kidney damage, brain issues, and other health problems.
