Did you ever eat aluminum foil?

[Joe Nerve]

...like if it's stuck to the bottom of a frozen pizza you just made cuz it's still snowing pretty heavy and you didn't want to put on boots to go outside for food? Pretty sure I just did that, wondering if it will have any adverse effects on my health.

I guess if I check back in here tomorrow, I'll be proving something, huh?

Been there done that.

Your fillings should have 'raised the alarm'...

Why is that? If you bite down on aluminum foil it is somewhat painful on your fillings. Just curious what science is behind that.

Now "They" can not get into your stomach.

The only ill effect is that on a hot day, it'll take longer for you to cool off. But, you may get slightly better radio reception.

Aluminum can cause a cathodic reaction with your fillings, sending a small charge to the root.
The electrical reaction is aided by the presence of your saliva.

The same sort of thing happens when you weld a stainless steel elbow onto a carbon steel pipe & then spray saltwater on it.

I quit being a catholic in the 2nd grade, so maybe that's why it didn't happen with me.

Those of us old enough to have eaten lead paint off the walls when we were kids are innocuated. Don't know about you. You might be in trouble.

Or you don't have fillings. There's always that. It could have happened in second grade, too, just a different way.

Your stomach and digestive tract will be impervious to messages transmitted by "Them" via your microwave oven ( or the neighbors dog ) for the next 24 hours.

Don't knock a good thing........

I love the lead paint, it keeps out the X-Rays and for the rest of the rays I did this.

Cool! Who is your decorator? I want his number.

Remember when it was called "tin"-foil?

 

[Killed_by_Death]

It contained more lead when it was called tin foil

Licking a cathode is not like being catholic.

Never made a sandwich out of it but I've had a few accidental bites in the past. Stomach acid's pretty caustic stuff. I bet a few small pieces don't stand a chance. The only potential bad thing is the aluminum itself will run though your blood steam which you obviously don't want. They say it's linked to Alzheimer's and other things. I don't worry about it. I'm convinced every individual person has pre dispositions to any and all afflictions. Hereditary. Luck of the draw. Go play bass.

Is this your decorator?
