Add as Preferred SourceThings worth knowing about "Aluminum"
Aluminum is a widely used light metal found in industry as well as daily life.
Aluminium is present in packaging, cookware, food products, and cosmetics. Humans can ingest it through food, especially from cans, baked goods with leavening agents, or by using aluminum foil.
Health concerns arise with long-term exposure to higher amounts. Aluminum has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and can affect the nervous system, bones, and kidney function. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has set a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 1 mg/kg body weight.
To minimize exposure, it is recommended to reduce contact with aluminum packaging, especially for acidic or salty foods. Limiting the use of aluminum-containing deodorants and cosmetics also helps lower intake. Choosing safer products supports long-term health protection.
