Aluminum foil, which was first introduced in the early 1900s, is currently one of the most commonly used kitchen items. It is extremely versatile too, and is used for cooking, wrapping, and even for treating some common heath issues. However, the problem with this kitchen item is its neurotoxic nature, which negatively affects the brain function and it was even found to trigger the onset of Alzheimer`s disease. As explained by medical expert, exposure to this metal may lead to mental decline and loss of memory, balance, bodily control, and coordination.
Doctors Are Now Warning: If You Use Aluminum Foil, Stop It Or Face Deadly Consequences
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or you can not believe it and think it's all a bunch of bs and keep right on using it so in ten years you can have your Doctor tell you , you are so ill because it's genetic.
Of course, I'll change immediately. Because a website like FAITH PANDA is a trusted source of cutting edge medical research and did NOT try to hack my computer while I went to view your link..
STUPIDITY maybe if you stop using the foil and teflon pans you might grow some of that brain back..

Turns out you shouldn't be using aluminium foil on the barbecue

Comparison of the regional distribution of transferrin receptors and aluminium in the forebrain of chronic renal dialysis patients. - PubMed - NCBI
Nawww. Don't think it's stupidity in my case. More CURIOUS and ANALYTICAL than a member of the easily panicked herd.
Let's start here -- The study you produced was done on people with kidneys SO FAR GONE that they required "chronic dialysis". So, that's not a measure of how much Alum. sticks around from ingestion. Which maybe in the range of 1% or less. And as it turns out -- the ONLY verifiable Alzheimer deaths due to "aluminum poisoning" are less than 5. One a man who WORKED in a hazardous Alum dust enviro. One a women who's municipal water supply had HIGH levels of NATURALLY occurring ALum..
So -- the "foil" risk is just a SMALL FRACTION of the concerns when considering how the body inhales or digests FOOD PRODUCTS containing aluminum. For instance, if you are a cook or a baker -- and I am --- I KNOW that many leavening agents show Alum components right on the damn pkg. To wit....
Aluminium content of selected foods and food products
Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the earth's crust and is therefore a natural component of drinking water and foodstuffs and is a component of many manufactured materials. Exposure of the human body to aluminium may be by food [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] including drinking water, fruit juices wine and beer [9, 10, 11], articles of daily use that are made of aluminium, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals such as local therapeutic agents, anti-diarrhoeal drugs or antacids. Increased aluminium exposure can be compensated for by excretion via intestines and normal, healthy kidneys. Kidney insufficiency was shown to result in increased aluminium concentrations in the kidneys of dialysis patients, possibly resulting from dialysis fluids that may contain substantial concentrations of aluminium [12].
For many years, aluminium was not considered a health threat because of its relatively low bioavailability. In 1965, however, animal experiments suggested a possible connection between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease, whereby aluminium salts were injected directly into rabbit brain where they caused tissue alterations (for a review see [13]). Increased aluminium concentrations were found in the brains of deceased Alzheimer's patients. Other studies, however, have been unable to find definite indications supporting the hypothesis that aluminium plays a causative role in Alzheimer's disease or causes pathological alterations in vivo in the species studied [14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20].
In the 1970s, the issue of toxicity of aluminium gained importance after Berlyne et al. (1970) reported on increased aluminium concentrations in the serum of nephropathic persons [21]. The findings of Alfrey et al. [22] increased concerns about an increased oral intake of aluminium since these findings were the first to establish a connection between neurologic diseases of dialysis patients and an increased intake of aluminium in the organism. In a more recent study aluminium is also discussed as as an endocrine disruptor in female Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) [23].
Food is unquestionably the main source of aluminium intake, whereby the source is considered either primary or secondary. The primary content is the natural content of food caused by uptake from the geologic surrounding during growth and is for all practical purposes unavoidable. The secondary content is the primary content plus any possible contamination from aluminium articles that come into contact with food and additives as well as veterinary drugs, fertilisers and the air. Table 1 shows the main, permissible secondary aluminium sources that may lead to an aluminium accumulation in food.
Check out the FOOD table in that article to see how "herbal teas" cocoa powder, baked goods and other common foods, food additives, vaccines, and enviro exposure to common stuff --- BESIDES Alum foil is actually a part of this concern..
Then cruise over to WebMd (aluminum toxicity Alzheimers) and read about all the studies that DID NOT SHOW aluminum toxicity as a suspect cause...
It's "unsettled science" --- As MOST of science is..
Unsettled science still doesn't mean that all theories have equal validity. This is more in the category of accepted science, meaning the leading authorities are comfortable with the finding even if every potential aspect is not, and possibly will never be known.
