Truth,
This is the ‘unhidden’ truth about aluminum, the very reason why the CDC can ‘afford’ to make the claims they make.
“
Food—primary source of exposure
Unprocessed foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat contain very little aluminum.
Aluminum compounds may be added during processing of foods, such as:
flour
baking powder
coloring agents
anticaking agents
An average adult in the United States eats about 7–9 mg of aluminum per day in their food.
Air
Most people take in very little aluminum from breathing. Levels of aluminum in the air generally range from 0.005 to 0.18 micrograms per cubic meter (ìg/m3), depending on location, weather conditions, and type and level of industrial activity in the area. Most of the aluminum in the air is in the form of small suspended particles of soil (dust).
Aluminum levels in urban and industrial areas may be higher and can range from 0.4 to 8.0 ìg/m3.
Water and soil
The concentration of aluminum in natural waters (e.g., ponds, lakes, streams) is generally below 0.1 milligrams per liter (mg/L).
People generally consume little aluminum from drinking water. Water is sometimes treated with aluminum salts while it is processed to become drinking water. But even then, aluminum levels generally do not exceed 0.1 mg/L. Several cities have reported concentrations as high as 0.4–1 mg/L of aluminum in their drinking water.
Consumer Products
People are exposed to aluminum in some cosmetics, antiperspirants, and pharmaceuticals such as antacids and buffered aspirin.
Antacids have 300–600 mg aluminum hydroxide (approximately 104–208 mg of aluminum) per tablet, capsule, or 5 milliliter (mL) liquid dose. Little of this form of aluminum is taken up into the bloodstream.
Buffered aspirin may contain 10–20 mg of aluminum per tablet
Vaccines may contain small amounts of aluminum compounds, no greater than 0.85 mg/dose.”
