Just as cigarette smoke damages lung function and overexposure to UV rays will degrade your skin, aluminum is an attacker and its target is your central nervous system. The prevailing belief around the world is that aluminum is linked to degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Aluminium foil may not cause any harm to our bodies when it is (accidentally) consumed in very small quantities, because it is common that it gets into our food sometimes. However it is not advisable to eat aluminum foil because it is not an edible food.
