868. Aluminum foil is a kitchen staple most of us reach for without a second thought — but should we be more careful about how we use it?

Plus, find out whether the shiny side vs. dull side of foil really matters, whether aluminum water bottles are any better than plastic, and simple ways to reduce both your aluminum exposure and your environmental footprint.
