Excess aluminum has a negative association with the brain and undermines brain function. High aluminum levels results in neurotoxicity and increased rates of Alzheimer’s disease.^[1]

Manufacturers add aluminum to processed foods, cosmetic products including antiperspirants, toothpaste, and also to drugs.

People who work with aluminum, like aluminum welders and foundry workers have higher levels of aluminum in their blood and urine.

The public water supply system also uses aluminum as a method for treating public water.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8, is a toxic chemical environmental pollutant used in the production of PTFE. ^[2]
