I wouldn’t go as far as to say completely false. The studies linking it with neuro-degenerative diseases have been inconclusive to the best of my knowledge. Aluminium is still pretty unsafe to ingest in any form though.

Pardon my ignorance, but this doesn’t include aluminum foil right?

Aluminum foil is considered safe when used normally. Excess amounts might be problematic. Leeching happens mostly in high temperatures when in contact with acidic food.

I’m not sure. I try to limit how much I use it in cooking. I’d assume it’s generally fine for food storage though.
