What happens if you eat a tiny bit of aluminum foil?

He'll be fine.  It's like when you accidently eat a tiny piece of paper stuck to an ice cream sandwich...it just comes out the other end, if you know what I mean.  It won't lead to Alzheimers...

You are making a small battery and experiencing "galvanic shock" due to a reaction between your saliva, your fillings and the aluminum foil.\n\nSearch "electromotive series" for thousands of references.

Yes- it definately sounds like an allergy.  Allergies don't necessarily show themselves as rashes.  I would definately not eat them again especially since it compromises your breathing.

It depends on how your body reacts to it.  It's usually temporary if any, you may not have any and depends on the dose

nothing very serious happened...continue your diet (tip: for 2 days drink more water).......but chemical diets must not take much long in order not to put in danger yourself

One could argue plastic wrap since the Aluminum foil would allow for greater heat conduction into the orange from the air.\n\nAluminum, being a metal, is a good conductor of heat.  The metal foil will allow for heat from the "hot" air to be conducted into the "cold" orange much quicker than the plastic wrap would.\nI dont think the light enegry being absorbed or reflected is that significant.\n\nTake the opposite case as an example, say you had a hot metal pot of water an you wanted to set it on some surface so that it stays hot the longest.  If you set the pot on a metal cooking sheet, the heat will be conducted away from the pot and into the air much quicker than if you were to set it on a peice of wood for example.

Your stomach smashes the food, but the small intestine takes that 'smash' and introduces it into the blood stream.\n\nDifferent sections of the SI pick out different nutrition's and vitamins, - so you pretty much need all of your SI.\n\nFolks have gone anemic, vitamin E deficient from having chunks removed.\n\nDon't risk it.

No, it's unable to digest it properly.  So that would either do nothing for it...or make it really sick.

Once or twice? probably nothing.\n\nSome metal oxides are toxic. Some can add traces of metals to your body. Traces of metals (unlike the minerals we get from food) have ill effect.\n\nDon't even buy canned food, if you see dent's on the cans.

*Edit:  Pennies minted before 1982 are no big deal.  Also, if you eat really full meals for two or three days straight to expand your stomach, it should pass through the GI tract and poop out.\n--\nHere, I found you an interesting article that relates the zinc in pennies with stomach ulcers, kidney and liver issues in children.  Appartently pennies that are minted after 1982 contain high zinc content (zinc is cheaper than copper -- probably the reason), and the zinc reacts with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form zinc chloride.  Zinc chloride is much more corrosive than hydrochloric acid alone, and would be enough to burn through the mucous lining of the stomach.  Coupled with the hydrochloric acid already in the stomach, it's bad news in terms of stomach ulcers and possible internal bleeding.\n\nI would assume that with adults, the toxicity in relation to the kidney and liver would be reduced due to body mass.  However, I would predict that the ulceration of the stomach would be similar in both children and adults.\n\nWith the flat shape of penny, I would also assume that it is difficult to pass it through the GI tract (i.e. pooping it out).  The stomach is made out of folds, which expand to accomodate food.  A penny can easily be stuck in one of those folds, and with the corrosive nature of zinc chloride, stick itself to the walls of the stomach, burning away.\n\nAll in all... if you or a child swallows one, it doesn't pass through in a day or so, and it hurts...  it's probably time to go to the hospital.

Only if you feel guilty after eating it. If not, it goes straight to your hips.

No. The body metabolizes light metals quite well. The aluminum present in the brain is coincidental; it is not a cause.

If it's in your lungs, you die.  (but the same is true of water)\n\nIf it's in your stomach, not much.\n\nEating charcoal is actually a remedy for some poisons.

Absorption of a small amount does not hurt your body.  Our body can cope with it.

Lacking more detail - my suspicion is that the release of H2 will cause the amount of aluminium to be to high...\n\n-dh

it wont hurt you BUT it has alot of acid in it so it will make your stomach hurt more and yu'll throw up more too. Try some gatorade, ginger ale, sprite, or some water. Get better soon!! :)

Really.....binging on Mayonnaise will cause brain damage?? I guess I'd better cut down on tuna sandwiches then :-P
