Oh please--give me a break--brush your teeth by all means, just use non-flouridated toothpaste, or baking soda... Sheesh!

I was over my brother-in-laws house last week and saw that he had a tube of Colgate by his sink. I read the ingredients on the back...sure as hell...."aluminum oxide" is one of the main ingredients.Mmmmm....yummy. I warned him about it but he kind of looked at me like I was Atilla the Hun or something. Quite possibly ruined his day. Hopefully his kids haven't swallowed too much of it.
Oh Well...let him have his aluminum oxide.

Do you guys realize how much stuff actually contains aluminum? I doubt you do.The whole "aluminum is bad" is a bunk arguement anyways, it's *the* most abundant metal on earth, and one of the most abundant elements. I liked turning aluminum into copper using acid, that was fun.

Only related by toothpaste, the FDA appears to be cracking down on toothpastes made in countries outside the USA with elevated floride levels... http://www.fda.gov/ora/fiars/ora_import_ia6301.html

There's nothing wrong with flouride, just so long as it's at low levels. I'm against publically flourided water, because people who brush get plenty.As I said.. aluminum is in *everything* it's an amazingly abundant, lightweight metal.

I don't have one seeker, jeez, I'm not mr. aluminum. The fact is, even I don't know how much stuff contains aluminum, just that it's a lot.I mean, I could make a short list, but that'd be an effort... I don't like making one.

I don't like making one.well shit where in the hell do you get off making a statement like that...when you have no freakin' idea...and don't care to look... unbelieveable... took about 5 minutes... 2. Effects on Humans: Aluminum dust is an eye and respiratory tract irritant in humans. Soluble aluminum salts are irritants when inhaled as aerosols [Hathaway et al. 1991]. Although inhalation of aluminum powder of particle size 1.2 um, given over 10- or 20-minute periods several times weekly resulted in no adverse health effects among thousands of workers over several years, several other studies report X-ray evidence of pulmonary fibrosis [Hathaway et al. 1991]. Some patients on long-term hemodialysis develop speech disorders, dementia, or convulsions. This syndrome is associated with increased concentration of aluminum in serum, brain, muscle, and bone [Amdur et al. 1991; Hathaway et al. 1991]. There is some evidence that Alzheimer's disease may be linked to aluminum content in the body [Amdur et al. 1991]. Analysis of the aluminum content in the brains of persons dying from Alzheimer's have shown increased levels, although brain aluminum levels vary greatly. A second correlating factor is that neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) have been identified in both aluminum encephalopathy and in Alzheimer's disease [Amdur et al. 1991]. [Amdur et al. 1991].

I told you I didn't want to make an effort Seeker.. Yikes.The fact remains aluminum is in many many things... I'll make any god damned statement I want to That is also speaking about occupational hazards for workers exposed to aluminum dust which may be a product/byproduct of some industry. This is a far step from aluminum as we know it- though I never suggest eating foil or soda cans

I'll make any god damned statement I want toand look like a fucking idiot doing it... which is your right...you have a right to be a fucking idiot...and I have a right to point that out.... so... the reference material was dealing with all aspects of aluminum absorbtion...in particular.... There is some evidence that Alzheimer's disease may be linked to aluminum content in the body [Amdur et al. 1991]. Analysis of the aluminum content in the brains of persons dying from Alzheimer's have shown increased levels, if you were worth the trouble I would see what has transpired in the last 12 years regarding aluminum absorbtion into the body... do your parents know your using their machine ?

You're such an ass seeker.Again, it doesn't change that aluminum is in many products, whether it's harmful or not. I already stated I did not believe it is harmful in these products. By the way. "the reference material was dealing with all aspects of aluminum absorbtion...in particular...." No, it is, like i said, speaking of occupational hazards regarding aluminum. Read the title of the freaking website! "Occupational Safety and Health Administration" "INTRODUCTION This guideline summarizes pertinent information about aluminum for workers and employers as well as for physicians, industrial hygienists, and other occupational safety and health professionals who may need such information to conduct effective occupational safety and health programs..."

Alzheimers is no joke--nor the alarming numbers--nor the reports linking aluminum with alzheimers --nor the concerns regarding this. If you can provide a list ChemCaptain...by all means, do!

Jeez I laugh everytime I see your avatar thing con man.As for a list? Jeez! I'd rather concede the arguement then go hunting... Anyways.. Lots of soaps, deorderants, toothpastes- Many products of that nature have aluminum, as well as you know cans and foil . I will not go to the point that aluminum is completely safe, but I have not seen a study that was unrelated to industrial occupational hazards with aluminum- again, I can't say it enough- don't go eating aluminum foil and soda cans!
