Does eating from aluminum cans daily cause aluminum buildup?
For most healthy people, the kidneys filter dietary aluminum. Acidic canned foods carry higher aluminum content.
What's actually in it
The answer to this question depends on conditions: what material, what temperature, how often, and what alternatives you have available.
Research shows that under some conditions this is low risk, and under others, chemical transfer is measurable. Understanding when matters.
