We double-check food ingredients, but how often do we question what our food is cooked in?
Last week, the USFDA warned that certain “pure aluminium” cookware made in India may leach lead into food — a toxin that slowly damages the brain.
Even small amounts of lead exposure can:
⚠️ Impair brain development in children
⚠️ Affect memory and learning
⚠️ Alter mood and behavior in adults
Our advice as a doctor — small changes matter:
✅ Choose stainless steel, ceramic, cast iron, or bronze
🚫 Avoid old, scratched, or “shiny” cheap aluminium utensils
🍲 Never store food in the same vessel you cook it in
At Dr. Chandril Chugh / Dr Good Deed, we believe awareness begins in everyday actions — even in your kitchen.
Your brain deserves better than a toxic pan.
