Major Sources of Aluminum

Chapter 4 - Controlling Aluminum Ingestion
“The
positive relationship between aluminum in drinking-water and Alzheimer’s
disease … cannot be totally dismissed.” World
Health Organization 1998 and 2003
“…the MWRA does not routinely analyze for aluminum
as it is not on our list of toxic metals.”

Aluminum
as an ionic salt is a neurotoxin that is a causative factor in Alzheimer’s,
autism, and stroke. Aluminum is also the
third most common element in the earth’s crust and it is one of the most
remarkable elements in the periodic table.
Things made from aluminum metal are strong, light-weight, durable, and
electrically conductive. Aluminum’s melting point is low enough that it can be
readily recycled. As a consequence of
its availability and unique properties, aluminum, as an ionic salt and a metal,
is found in a variety of things that add to our body’s accumulation (i.e.
body-burden) of aluminum as estimated in the following table:

but the rate of absorption is unknown; D) Average drinking water absorption
0.3%391 and intake 3liters/day with aluminum concentration of 10 to
200mcg/liter; E) 1 to 3 vaccines per day; F) Equivalent to 3 cups of green or
black tea per day.
The percentages of aluminum
ion absorbed into systemic circulation (i.e. bioavailable aluminum) are averages. Among individuals there is at least a 3 fold
variation in these percentages of aluminum bioavailablity51. The
data in the table shows that chronic use of aluminum containing pharmaceuticals
and aluminum cookware can be the largest sources of bioavailable aluminum. The
largest acute source of bioavailable aluminum is from the adjuvant in vaccines.
