Is aluminum foil safe to use in pregnancy to wrap and cook foods?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Aluminum: Leaching of aluminum into food can happen. Short term risk to the baby is negligible, but long term risks from aluminum can occur with life long use. Minimize use of aluminum with food.
