The average amount of aluminum in the human body is 65 milligrams but can range from 50 150 milligrams.
The average person absorbs anywhere from 10 to 100 milligrams of aluminum every day through aluminum cookware, baking soda, antacids and numerous other sources.
Aluminum toxicity can lead to a number of ailments including constipation, colic, loss appetite, nausea, skin ailments, twitching of leg muscles, excessive perspiration and loss of energy.
Other symptoms: rickets, poor calcium metabolism, extreme nervousness, anemia, memory loss, softening and weakness of the bones and aching muscle.
The target organs for aluminum toxicity are primary the lungs, bones and the central nervous system.
Bone loss and increased intestinal absorption of aluminum and silicon combine to form compounds that accumulate in the cerebral cortex of the brain.
These compounds prevent impulses from being carried to or from the brain. Although cause of Alzheimer’s disease remains unclear, research indicates that aluminum toxicity may be one of the primary culprits.
