Aluminium? Beware!
Category: Health News
At the University of Toronto, Dr D.B. Crapper and colleagues, showed that aluminium given to cats turned them into idiots. Examination of the cats’ brains after death found destroyed areas filled with what are called neurofibrillary tangles. These areas showed high concentrations of aluminium (12 mcg/gram), the same level of aluminium found in destroyed areas of the brains of some victims of Alzheimers disease.`In the New England Journal of Medicine on 21 February 1991, a study by Dr I.B. Salusky and colleagues of UCLA Medical School, shouts a warning. After one year of treatment with low levels of aluminium previously thought to be safe, dialysis patients doubled their aluminium levels, and showed evidence of rapid bone disease. Another recent study in the British medical journal Lancet, shows brain dysfunction in patients with similar levels of aluminium previously thought to be completely safe.’ (Dr. Michael Colgan, Optimum Sports Nutrition, p.70,71)
The following are just some of the more prominent symptoms of Aluminium Toxicity – constipation, colic, loss of appetite, nausea, skin ailments, twitching of leg muscles, excessive perspiration, loss of energy, irritability [fits of temper] and poor memory, slow learning ability, even osteoporosis [due to aluminium leading bones to dissolve], weak muscles, seizures, and fits.
Aluminium is commonly found in:
¤ Tap water – aluminium sulfate is used in the water purification process and not all of the aluminium is filtered out,
¤ table salt to prevent caking,
¤ foil,
¤ deodorants,
¤ baking powder,
¤ some processed cheeses,
¤ bleaching agent to whiten flour.
(Lavon J. Dunne, Nutrition Almanac, p.64-65)
Whether we suspect aluminium toxicity or not, we should all discontinue the use of aluminium cookware and avoid it wherever possible. Reports have been received that magnesium can displace aluminium in the body. For more information on this subject, please click here.
