      I thought the same thing. Someone should tell them that cooking all of their food in the aluminum foil releases the aluminum into their food and into their bodies. I have quit baking and cooking with aluminum foil almost completely. If I do need to line a pan or dish with foil, I always put a layer of parchment paper between my food and the foil, never letting the aluminum foil touch the food. But mostly I just don't use aluminum foil at all.

      Aluminium is a known neurotoxin. Prof Chris Exley biopsied 50 brains and found intra and extracellular Al ions in the brains of Alzheimer's and autistic brains.
      But Alcoa is a massive lobby for Aluminium and it will fight against the truth as it is their business. Cooking in burning aluminium is long term leathal.

    in our not to distant history it was discovered that simgle keel boats were safer than pontoon boats and that is why over the last 500 years or so there have been no pontoon boats used as it was determined mono hull was much safer. Today people think they can build stronger pontoon boats with apartment attached and they can go anywhere in their hehe so stable boats. I just have one question, how many pontoon boats and righted themselves after fliping over. I have been knocked down twice and had a fast recovery in monohulls with full keels. I would never recoment a fin keel to anyone that wants to cruise the world. Be as safe as possible , buy a full keel sailing yacht.
