ALUMINUM
Dangers
Aluminum is the third most common element in the
environment and is a toxin to the body. It can be found
in processed food, antiperspirants, antacids, paper
products, drink containers, foil and cookware.
What is the
documented damage that Aluminum can do to the body?
Alzheimer’s disease, a
terrible disease that first destroys the mind before it
destroys the body of its victims, is a relatively new
disease. Alzheimer’s disease is now the fourth leading
cause of death among the elderly, behind heart disease,
cancer and stroke. No one knew what caused it and how to
cure it. But as more and more studies are being
completed, there seems to be a fairly common link among
Alzheimer’s sufferers. That link is the amount of
aluminum they were exposed to.

The World Health Organization
conducted studies on chemical pollution and the
elderly:
“There is a suspected link between Alzheimer’s
disease and the toxicity of aluminum
…autopsies have found high
concentrations of the metal in the brains of people
who have suffered from the disease.”

There have been studies done, linking
aluminum to Alzheimer’s disease: “The evidence is
strong enough that the prudent person will eliminate
all food and cosmetic sources of aluminum and will
use aluminum cooking utensils only if they are
coated,” suggests the author of Nutrition, Health
and Disease, Gary Price Todd MD.

Dr. Daniel Perl, Director of
Neuropathy at
Mt.Sinai Medical Center in
New
York , suggests:
“..avoid aerosol
antiperspirants. Aluminum
in aerosol may be more readily absorbed into the
brain through the nasal passages.”
