mixed up with the food and enters our body with the food we take. Aluminium is
heavy metal and the excretory system is unable to extract this metal. If we eat
food made in aluminium utensils for many years it is accumulated in our muscles,
kidneys, lever and bones. This deposition cause many harmful diseases which the
