Deadly poison in cooking utensils

New research reveals that millions of unsuspecting Kenyans who utilise aluminium cookware could be cooking their way to early graves due to the poisonous effect of aluminium metal, writes JAMES NG’ANG’A

And the use of aluminium utensils – cooking pots, saucepans, frying pans, teapots and milking equipment continues to spread either because the majority of people are oblivious of the harm, which they can cause, or they know of no alternative.
