Nomnom Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I can't fault the nutritional science in the Whole30 book but for them using aluminium foil to cook the beets for the beet and orange salad. Toxic heavy metals in the food. What's with it please Melissa and Dallas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted November 24, 2016 Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2016 There are a host of things that you can choose to do that do not fall under the Whole30 rules. Eliminating plastic, not using foil, not using a microwave, changing out your cleaning supplies to avoid chemicals, changing your beauty/skin care products etc. Whole30 is only concerned with the food that you put in your body, everything else is a personal decision that you are free to make.

Crastney Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 is it really made from aluminium though? it used to be called tin foil, but probably wasn't actually made from tin. I thought they just use very thin metal food grade foil. surely the manufactureres of the cooking foil know that it'll be used for cooking at high temps, so they've proved that it's food safe. ... short google search later, and it appears that there is plenty of evidence to suggest that you shouldn't cook things in aluminium foil, or aluminium cooking trays, as the hot temperatures can leach out the bad chemicals, especially if the food is a high acid food. well I never!

Newbie23 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I just skip that step. No biggie. I do agree with you, though, that I was disappointed to see it recommended (along with microwave use, plastic, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
