News India Live, Digital Desk: Kitchen Safety: Steel, iron and non-stick pots as well as a metal utensils are always present in our kitchen-aluminum. Due to the cheap, light and early warming, they have become the need of every household in the form of fugitives, pots and especially as pressure cookers. But have you ever thought that the vessel in which you are cooking dal and vegetables every day is ‘right’ for your health or ‘wrong’? A debate has been going on for years about aluminum utensils. Some people consider it completely safe, while some call it the root of serious diseases. Let us solve this confusion on the basis of experts’ opinion and scientific facts today and know what the truth is. What comes from aluminum utensils? Yes, it is true. When we cook in aluminum utensils, especially when the food is acidic (sour), some small amounts of metal dissolve in the food. Sour things like tomatoes, tamarind, vinegar or lemon react rapidly with aluminum. But now the question is whether this small amount is dangerous for our body? What does science say? Science? What is science? World Health Organization (WHO), the world’s big health institutions, including the World Health Organization (WHO), believe that the amount of aluminum in our body is so low that it does not have any special danger. Our body, especially our kidney, easily filters this small amount and removes it out. A healthy person can tolerate aluminum up to about 50 mg in a day, while cooking barely reaches our body only 2-5 mg. So why is there a dispute? There are some old studies in which aluminum was associated with brain- diseases like Alzhemer. However, in most of the later big and reliable researches, there was no strong evidence that the aluminum from utensils causes Alzheimer’s, but it does not mean that you are negligent while using aluminum utensils. You avoid these 3 mistakes. Do not cook: Avoid cooking or storing any dishes with tomato sauce, sambar, kadhi or lemon in these utensils. More aluminum dissolves in food. Say the utensils and scratched utensils ‘No’: Do not use aluminum utensils at all. These scratches increase the possibility of dissolving aluminum food. Do not store the eating: After cooking, immediately take it out in a steel or glass vessel. Keeping food in an aluminum vessel for hours also increases the risk of getting metal food. What is the final decision? According to experts, if you use good quality and untouchable aluminum utensils and take precautions mentioned above, it is not dangerous for health. However, if you want to be completely anxious free, it can be a better and healthy option to give more space to iron, stainless steel and pottery in your kitchen.
