The findings here say we should cut back on the use of foil when cooking.

I know there is an alternative to foil when smoking meat. I personally have never used butcher paper, and wouldn't even know where to get any. I will probably stick with foil.

I'm sure I am not smart enough or knowledgeable enough to know how accurate the articles assessment of dangers is, but I'd be interested in who paid for and who benefited from reseach. In addition, hardly a world class Univ. was cited:

"According to the 2014 Webometrics World Universities rankings (aimed to promote Web publication, not to rank institutions), Ain Shams University is ranked 12th in Egypt, 45th in Arab World and 51st in Africa."

I'm not disagreeing, but at my age, I don't think aluminum foil leeching is going to be what gets me.

"Associated with " does not necessarily means "caused by " .So many don't understand that comment .This whole subject was thoroughly studied some years back. The causation was never found. Anyway if you are paranoid ,you can buy stainless steel foil easily.
Best metals to cook in are cast iron [the seasoning process forms a polymer for your info !!] Stainless steel , and titanium.
I couldn't count how much tomato sauce was cooked in aluminum pots over the years. Wrap it in mud, leaves, salt, and other things , and build a fire over it . The choice is yours !

I'll vote for cast iron, but some of the pots are getting a bit heavy for my wife to handle.

Good. This will leave more for hats and rabbit ears adjusters.

"What is the frequency Kenneth?"

Careful Bill, you'll draw fire from the resident wingnuts.

Every thing kills us, ask any Vegan or liberal..

Ive spent 82 years eating the baddest of bad food and Im still healthy..Age and health isn't so much what we eat, its the gene pool..I know a lot of health nuts in horrible health, and I don't wonder..

Im in the school of eat what you want, but not in excess, and exercise and keep moving. Its working for me.

Good . . .Bad . . .Right . . .Wrong . .

Makes no difference to me since all we have that I use is cast iron or Stainless steel (pre-china production).

All sorts of science and pseudo science out there, but I think Atkinson has the key . . .

Eat in moderation and do some physical exercise/hard work.

Is anyone planning on living forever. Who gives a damn?
