Metal Leaches into Food
Aluminum is a reactive metal. Cooking acidic foods like tomatoes, tamarind, or lemon in these pots can cause the metal to leach into the food, a fact many people don't know.
Kidneys filter waste from the body. Aluminum entering the bloodstream can build up over time, slowing kidney function and increasing the risk of kidney stones, especially for patients.

So, What's Best?
