Cooking in aluminium pans detrimental to childs IQ, says study

A study conducted by researchers at the Ashland University has said that cooking food in aluminium pots, pans or dishes may reduce your kid`s Intelligent Quotient (IQ) and performance at school. The study indicates that cadmium is neurotoxic in children and causes kidney damage which is linked to cardiovascular deaths and is carcinogenic. Lead exposure in children is linked to brain damage, mental retardation, lower educational performance and a range of other health effects. The findings were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
Speaking about this, the researchers said, Lead and cadmium exposures from regular use of these pots will significantly reduce IQ and school performance among children, and contribute to millions of deaths due to cardiovascular disease. We found levels of aluminium on average were six times greater than WHO dietary guidelines and significant concentrations of cadmium leached from 31 percent of the cookware tested. Lead exposure from inexpensive aluminum cookware has the potential to be of much greater public health significance than lead paint or other well-known harmful sources that are common around the world. The presence of lead in food cooked in these pots may be one contributing factor to the ongoing lead poisoning epidemic.
