Question:

Is it better to use an aluminum foil pan with or without bleached parchment paper?

Which is more unhealthy the bleached parchment paper or the aluminum from the pan?

Parchment paper is siliconized and the aluminum is stabalized. Based on that choice you're not any more or less safer with either or both.
