Aluminium

« Back to Glossary Index

Aluminium (Al) is a silvery-white metal that is classified as a “heavy metal”. In the food supply, it is found in natural sources such as water and food additives. Studies have linked frequent exposure to high levels of aluminum to neurotoxicity (adverse health effects on the central or peripheral nervous system or both), Alzheimer’s disease, and breast cancer.
