Hello I want to know where I can find written information on the dangers of using aluminum pots for cooking. I work at a busy Fire Station and all of our food is cooked in ally pots. As is the food for other fire-fighters at other stations. I would be extremely grateful for any information on this subject. -- Kevin Herniman Brigade Chairperson, Fire Brigades Union AVON bc14av -- 2 Jun 2003 Question: Aluminum poisoning. Hi there, I want to ask where can I find written evidence on aluminum poisoning. We use a lot of aluminum pots for cooking at the Fire Station where I work and management will not change these pots unless they have written proof of their dangers. HELP!! -- Kevin Herniman BC Avon bc14av 2 Jun 2003 Question: aluminum I am a new mother at the age of 26. I breast my daughter for the first 3 weeks of life and then had to resort to formula as I could no longer breastfeed. I had been boiling tap water in aluminum pots thinking that this was the correct thing to be doing. She is 4 months old now and I am afraid that I could have put my daughter in danger. I mean she is healthy at this point but all I can think about is that I may have put something impure inside of something so pure and it is making me sick, literally. I am so worried. Is there anything that can be done to reverse effects of aluminum in the body or to rid the body of this toxin? Is there a test that can be performed to see the levels of this toxin in the brain? Please, if anyone has any suggestions or comments, please e-mail Thank you, Carly Cope seizctrl Answer: It is good that people are becoming aware of the dangers of aluminum and other toxic metals, however from what you have said I doubt that you have done any harm to your child. Normal tap water will pick up almost no metal from the pan. According to a biochemist friend, had you used fruit juice then you could have increased the take-up by up to 150 times. Even if your local water supply is slightly acid the pick up would have been minimal. The main risk to infants has been the soya milk substitutes that contained whiteners based on aluminum compoundsWe do have to be selective with the information and it is a good idea to take a long term approach and to gradually educate oneself as to what the particular hazards and risks are for the particular situation. It is not a good idea to worry oneself unduly and aluminum does not pose a much greater risk than say lead or mercury or in some areas of the country, arsenic. In my opinion the reason why aluminum is such a potential danger is that it has not been appreciated until recently that it is a long lasting neurotoxin and the food and aluminum industries are reluctant to allow such a cheap source of food additives to be taken from them. Good quality feeding seems to be the best strategy to minimize toxins, both inorganic such as aluminum and the equally dangerous organic ones such as some pesticides and some food additives. Davina Martin davina Question: Aluminum poisoning Today I was approached by a person who claimed to have aluminum poisoning contracted while putting up an aluminum fence; long story. What I want to know is what are the symptoms of aluminum poisoning? -- ju ju juju. Jun 2002 (Ref:0040)Question: Aluminium in tap water. Do the table top water filters remove aluminium from tap water? I have an in-line water filter. Does it take out the aluminum and lead from the water? My water filter uses silver to kill bacteria, is this harmful? -- mandy. (Ref:0390) Question: Drinking Chocolate and Alzheimer's. Where did I read that those who were frequent drinkers of chocolate had ten times the national average incidence of Alzheimer's? Is it just another urban myth or does chocolate kill brain cells. -- plutarch123. (Ref:0041)Answer: It is unlikely that chocolate is the culprit or I would be gaga by now. Knuth and Mclachlan of Toronto University found that an additive, maltol (E636) can increase the aluminum absorbed into the brain by laboratory rabbits by ninety times. Maltol is a flavor enhancer like MSG and it is used in beer and drinking chocolate. -- Sukhindar S GillQuestion: Drinking Chocolate and Alzheimer's A while back I read about some research that showed that people who drank chocolate drinks were ten times more likely to develop Alzheimer's in their later years. Is there aluminum in the additives? -- Veronica McLaury vmclaury.. (Ref:0038) Answer: Researchers McLachlan and Kruch, showed that " maltol increased aluminum uptake by rabbits about ninety fold, suggesting certain foods containing the additive maltol help transport aluminum to the human brain". Chocolate drinks use maltol as a sweetener. Rest my case. -- Alan Bobbitt bobonsptiger. Question: Link between Ammonium Alum & Alzheimer's Does anyone know if there is any scientific work done on such a link. NSCohen123. (Ref:0178)Question: Aluminum and Alzheimers From Russell Hall and class We are very interested in finding out the link between aluminium and Alzheimer’s and the affects of aluminium on the human body and would be very happy if you could shed some light on this subject for us Thank you Chanel College Chemistry New Zealand chanel.col. (Ref:0179)Question: IQ, Lead and aluminium Inner City kids have been shown to lose between 4 and 12 IQ points due to lead in their brains. Aluminium, like lead has been implicated in hyperactivity (see www.hints-n-tips.com/avoidinal.htm), it seems likely that our children are less bright and in some cases seriously impaired because of the use of aluminium derived additives and alum water treatment. Has anyone seen any scientific work done on this? -- Richard Schmidt plutarch123 (Ref:0896)Question: Avoiding Aluminum In a health tips page they suggested that people avoid aluminum, how do I know what foods contains it?. What I have read about it makes me worry that my children are building up the metal in their brains and that they will have problems in later life. essie2000 (Ref: 0144)Answer: To Essie2000: It is unlikely that you will completely avoid aluminum in food. Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earths crust. The question you should be asking is how any aluminum can enter your brain and what you can do to avoid it. -- "J. B. Rivera" jobenspri Aug 00 Question: Aluminum in Antiperspirants Harmful? I've seen much about aluminum being ingested and it's potential for harm. What about deodorant/antiperspirants with aluminum? -- Carolyn B King cking02 (Ref:0036)Question: Alzheimer's. A Gallium Nitrate solution is used to remove aluminum from racehorses suffering from bone disease, can this be used on humans to remove the metal deposits in our brains. Can we sue the companies making these additives? they must have known about the effects many years ago. -- BHP bhopa (Ref:0035)Question: Alzheimer's. We can avoid the alum in the water we drink by using mineral or spring water but how can one avoid the absorption of the alum during bathing and washing? -- BHP bhopa (Ref:0032)Re: Aluminium poisoning in fruit juices I am a high school student in south Africa. I am doing an investigation as to whether fruit juices packaged in drinking size boxes with aluminium lining are being contaminated with aluminium. Do you know anything about this subject? Could the juice be contaminated? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Angie, -- Angie Jacobs seamor. (Ref:0010)Subject Selenium.

(Ref:0025)Question: Aluminium Poisoning Hi, I've heard from my colleague that sterilising baby products by boiling is not too good as the utensils most likely contain aluminium. Is it true? Thanks for your advice. Regards, Concerned mother Singapore. Tong prtong. (Ref:0717)Question: Aluminum allergy? It is a long story how I discovered that I am allergic to aluminum, so I won't go into that. I have had migraines for 28 years and since being chelated for heavy metal toxicity (lead, copper and aluminum) and avoiding aluminum I have had a 95% reduction in headaches. Aluminum is used as a coating for "buffered " pain relievers among MANY other things. If you are taking coated ibuprofen this may be the problem. Aluminum is also in baking powder, baking soda, (health food stores have alum free) , dark teas, cake mixes, frozen dough, non-dairy creamers, flouride toothpaste, anti-diarrhoeal drugs, and very high in processed cheese of any kind. If you would like more info, email me. The list I have compiled contains over 40 household items that contain aluminum. -- Nancy Paul_Bastow (Ref:0331)Subject (ref: 0331): Aluminum Poisoning How were you chelated for heavy metals? Do you have any information on natural means of removing aluminum from the brain? I would also appreciate the list of household goods containing aluminum. Goins, David M. dmgnospamoins MAMSMAMS 17 Jul 2003Question: Alzheimer's Association Computer System. It was donated by the aluminum industry. Does that tell you something? -- David Werner (Ref:0330) ReplyQuestion: Aluminum Water Bottles Safe? Hi Nancy, I just read your comments on http://www.qznaz.com/aluminum.htm about aluminum and am interested in your list of household items that contain aluminum. Would you please email it to me? I'm also wondering if you would help me with some questions. I'm interested in purchasing an aluminum sports bottle, but am concerned about aluminum being bad for health. Do you know if storing drinking water in aluminum bottles is safe? What about storing other types of liquids (not acidic ones like orange juice, but what about tea, for example)? And it occurred to me -- if I washed the aluminum bottle with soap and water, would it release aluminum into the drinking water that I put in later? I understand you may not have the answers to these questions -- I would just be glad for any information you can give me on the safety of using aluminum bottles for storing drinking water.

Some researchers say that the microtubule damage done by aluminum intoxication is characterized by a twin spiral and AD is a single others say that it is the opposite - can anyone enlighten us -- Derek P Warner (Ref:0329) ReplyAnswer: Neuro-fibrillary tangles. Can I suggest that if the aluminium induced deformation is recent then there will probably be a significant difference, however if the damaged cell survives it will increasingly come to resemble the cells found in the brains of AD sufferers QED?????-- Jasjit Singh Manget - Kolkatta IndiaQuestion: Aluminum Greetings, I'm seeking information on aluminum in foods, drinks, and household products.
