I switched from plastic bags to aluminum foil to wrap my loose seeds and nuts for quick snacks. Was this a mistake? I just read your article on aluminum toxicity and food! Alarmed! Should I go back to plastic baggies?

Hello,

I would suggest that you transport and store your nuts or seeds in glass jars.  Both the plastic and the foil pose challenges.

i will probably make that move. but i really want to know is: is foil safer than plastic? what are the risks of both? i often end up not eating my daily servings of nuts/seeds because im on the go and have been wary of putting them in bags or foil...
