aluminum foil & alzheimer's disease...

Microwaves use unnatrual means to do this, fire is natural.

Aside from lightning starting a forest fire, how is fire natural? I'm pretty sure humans invented it.

I think you are missing the point.

Radio waves (do you use a cell phone? ha ha you're killing yourself, by your own logic) may be an 'unnatural' way to heat food, but there is no change in the basic chemical makeup of that food that can be attributed to those radio waves.

Heat from any source can cause those changes, for example the whitening of eggs when cooked, of the process of baking bread.
Fire on the other hand is an oxidation reaction, and charring your food is oxidizing it and changing the molecular structure.

be AFRAID!!!! be VERY AFRAID!!!!

If I were you, I would eat nothing but raw fruits, acorns, and vegetables that were grown organically.

Oh shit, I forgot.... did you know that PCBs can be detected in the tissues of humans all over the world, even in so-called 'primitive' cultures where they live hundreds of miles from 'civilization' and subsist on nuts and berries?

I guess we should all just kill ourselves now and get it over with, because the alternative is living in FEAR!!!!

Wow heat is just one of the many variables that has to be taken into acount. Take for instance what if there is some aluminum dust on the foil and you breath that in. Or what if you get the ghetto brand of aluminum and its made in a 3rd world country where standards are losely instrected making the tin foil less aluminum. To many contradicting tests have been done. Why use aluminum when you can buy a pack of rolling papers for $1 or buy a bowl for $10.

I refuse to continue this conversation with such close minded indaviduals.
Oh, and you don't seem very smart either: "Aside from lightning starting a forest fire, how is fire natural? I'm pretty sure humans invented it." How the hell could you invent something that occurs naturally? That's like saying "I invented palm trees" No, you didn't invent them, you DISCOVERED them.

Humans DISCOVERED fire, you can't invent it.

Humans DISCOVERED fire, you can't invent it.

Microwaves occur naturally too. As a matter of fact, you're getting x-rayed right now.

Btw, if you don't wanna talk to close minded individuals, you shouldn't post on a pot forum :rasta:

I've always ( well, not always, but for years now) heard about the aluminum foil/alzheimer's thing, but it's never really been a big deal to me.
But do remember people, you're probably smoking dangerous chemicals when you start using the non-stick stuff. I mean, if teflon or other non-stick coatings get scratched off your pan, it's supposed to be dangerous because you could ingest it. Imagine what smoking it would do.

[mcweedy]

Why don't you just grind up some foil and roll it up with your bud. Mmmm mm, now that's what i call a delicous smoke!

Hey, good idea! And microwave it before you smoke it!
