Using aluminum kettles poses health risks due to metal leaching
Scientific literature indicates that using aluminum and metal cookware can lead to metal leaching under certain cooking conditions, presenting potential health risks.
Both papers discuss the presence of toxic or potentially harmful metals in cookware and the mechanisms or risks associated with metal leaching into food or water, supporting the claim that using such cookware poses health concerns.
