Aluminum from cookware is known to leach into food during the cooking process, a risk that increases with acidity and cooking duration.

The analysis

Papers [1] and [2] provide direct empirical evidence that aluminum leaches from cookware into food, especially under specific conditions like higher acidity and prolonged cooking times. The remaining papers are largely off-topic or address other metals and contaminants (such as PFAS or lead in spices), meaning the supportive evidence is robust and uncontradicted.
