Why I’m Concerned About the Dangers of Aluminum
Aluminum is the most widely distributed metal on the planet and it’s used in the production of many every-day products. Cookware is made from aluminum, soda cans are aluminum, and aluminum foil is found in most kitchens. Aluminum is also in antacids, aspirin, vaccines, and even flour. This overwhelming infestation of aluminum means that your risk of exposure is through the roof, which is also made of aluminum.
Unlike vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, the body does not need aluminum. And aluminum is no innocent or benign participant. Aluminum accumulates in the kidneys, brain, lungs, liver and thyroid where it competes with calcium for absorption and can affect skeletal mineralization.…

Is There a Connection Between Aluminum and Alzheimer’s Disease?
This common element is present in the brains of many people with Alzheimer’s, but it probably doesn’t cause the disease.
The Health Effects of Aluminum Exposure
Aluminum is regularly taken up with the daily diet. It is also used in antiperspirants, as an adjuvant for vaccination, and in desensitization procedures. In this review, we present the scientifically documented harmful effects of aluminum on health and the threshold values associated with them.
Aluminum and Alzheimer's disease: after a century of controversy, is there a plausible link?
The hypothesis that Al significantly contributes to AD is built upon very solid experimental evidence and should not be dismissed. Immediate steps should be taken to lessen human exposure to Al, which may be the single most aggravating and avoidable factor related to AD.
Aluminum Toxicity: A misdiagnosed epidemic (Part 1)
No living systems use aluminum as part of a biochemical process. It has a tendency to accumulate in the brain and, to a lesser extent, in the bones. It is considerably less toxic than mercury, arsenic, lead or cadmium, but it appears to be more persistent than any of them.
ChemTrails
Geoengineers are proposing spraying 10 to 20 million tons of aluminum and other toxins into our atmosphere for the stated goal of cooling our planet. While government officials and scientists deny that this has begun, evidence is abundant that geoengineeing programs have been in full-scale deployment for over 20 years causing unquantifiable human health and environmental implications - An Unconventional Shade Of Grey
Dead Tourists and a Dangerous Pesticide
The chemistry of aluminum phosphide is so potent that studies show that people who accidentally inhale dust from the pellets, or swallow some of the material, can produce phosphine gas internally as the compound reacts with moisture in the body or even stomach acids.
New Research Indicates Aluminum in Deodorant Linked To Breast Cancer
We live in a world where the products that we use on a daily basis are actually laden with some of the most toxic chemicals on the planet. Studies are now showing that continuous exposure to toxic chemicals in personal hygiene products, such as antiperspirants, may be related to allergic reactions, Alzheimer’s, and even breast cancer in women.
Scientists Researching the Effect of Aluminum Exposure Appeal to the Public
Aluminum has been linked to diseases such as cancer, autism, and Alzheimer's. This toxic material is entering the human body via everyday consumption of food, water, cosmetics and an increasing number of vaccinations.
The Illusion of 'Natural'
Misunderstandings of purity fuel fears of toxins and vaccines, but the lines between humans, technology, and the environment are far blurrier than those who avoid the artificial realize.
Toxic Lipstick? Metals In Some Lip Products May Be Dangerous, Study Says
Lipsticks and glosses may contain potentially troubling levels of metals, according to a preliminary new study. Prior research has raised some concerns over the presence of lead in lipstick, but the new study is the first to suggest that many popular lip products also contain cadmium, chromium, aluminum and other metals — some at levels that may be harmful.
Why You Shouldn’t Wrap Your Food in Aluminium Foil Before Cooking It
This research suggests that aluminium foil should not be used for cooking. Instead, we’d recommend using glassware or porcelain when preparing baked dishes. It’s safe to wrap cold food in foil, though not for long stretches of time because food has a shelf life and because aluminium in the foil will begin to leach into the food depending on ingredients like spices.
Why I’m Concerned About the Dangers of Aluminum
Just as cigarette smoke damages lung function and overexposure to UV rays will degrade your skin, aluminum is an attacker and its target is your central nervous system.
