I accidentally ate a really small, tiny piece of tin foil with the food i cooked in the oven, will it be digested okay?

Unlikely to harm: A small piece of foil should pass through the stomach and intestines un digested. It is unlikely to cause any problems. See your doctor if you develop any symptoms.
