Amounts of Aluminum in Daily Sources

Excerpt from book titled Silica Water the Secret of Healthy Blue Zone Longevity in the Aluminum age by Dennis N Crouse PhD https://www.amazon.com/Dennis-N.-Crouse-Ph.D./e/B01LFW4782

Appendix II – Daily Sources of Aluminum

Aluminum can be accumulated in the body by oral ingestion, inhaled as vapor, or injected as an adjuvant in a vaccine.  Orally ingested aluminum is preferentially accumulated in the brain, bone, liver, spleen, and kidney of rats⁶⁴ and the brain, breast, retinal, and ovarian tissues of mice⁴³⁹. Aluminum has also been shown to accumulate in the brains of humans²⁶⁶. Inhaled aluminum is preferentially accumulated in the brain of rats via the olfactory nerve⁶⁷. Aluminum in tobacco and cannabis (as much as 0.37% and 0.4% by weight respectively) is volatilized during smoking and is absorbed by the lungs during both active and passive second-hand exposure to smoke⁴⁴⁰.

Avoid products with any ingredient on a label than includes the words: alum, alumina, aluminum, or bauxite.

Water Filters - 

                    Most fluoride filters use alumina to filter the fluoride which adds aluminum to your
                   drinking water.
