• Foods: Aluminum cans, foils, containers, baking powder, cake mixes, frozen dough, pancake mixes, self-rising flour, grains, processed cheese.

STUDIES OF ALUMINUM TOXICITY

Aluminum Toxicity 1• “Aluminum, a contaminant of commercial

intravenous–feeding solutions, is potentially neurotoxic. We investigated the effect of perinatal exposure to intravenous aluminum on the neurologic development of infants born prematurely.

• “RESULTS: For all 157 infants without neuromotor impairment, increasing aluminum exposure was associated with a reduction in the Mental Development Index (P=0.03), with an adjusted loss of one point per day of intravenous feeding for infants receiving the standard solutions. In preterm infants, prolonged intravenous feeding with solutions containing aluminum is associated with impaired neurologic development.”– NJ Bishop Medical Research Council (MRC), Cambridge,

United Kingdom (N Engl J Med 1997 May 29) 336(22).

Aluminum Toxicity 2• “Mental status changes in an

immunosuppressed child can be due to a variety of causes; aluminum toxicity is rarely considered. We report a teenage girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed mental status changes, speech disturbance, coarse tremor, and abnormal EEG findings following intravesical 1% alum irrigation and administration of aluminum-containing antacids. All abnormalities resolved after a nine-week course of intravenous deferoxamine.”– VS Kanwar, Department of Hematology Oncology, St.

Jude Children's Research Hospital, Mcmphis (Med Pediatr Oncol 1996 Jul)

Aluminum Toxicity 3

• “Regardless of the host, the route of administration, or the speciation, aluminum is a potent neurotoxicant.”– MJ Strong, Department of Clinical Neurological

Sciences, University of Western Ontario, Canada

• “Aluminium is acutely toxic to fish in acid waters. The gill is the principal target organ and death is due to a combination of ionoregulatory, osmoregulatory and respiratory dysfunction. The mechanism of epithelial cell death is proposed as a general mechanism of aluminium-induced accelerated cell death.”– C Exley, University of Stirling, Scotland

Aluminum Toxicity 4• “Aluminum chloride induces aggregates of

phosphorylated neurofilament that mimics the intraneuronal inclusions of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease).”– MJ Strong and RM Garruto, National Institutes of Health,

Bethesda, Maryland (Can J Neurol Sci 1991 Aug)• “The bone fractures had occurred suddenly while

the patients were going about their daily work. These observations indicate that aluminum- or iron- related bone disease with secondary hyperparathyroidism can induce bone fracture by only slight stress in patients maintained on hemodialysis.”– F Marumo et al., Transverse fractures of the spinous

process of the 7th cervical vertebra in RDT patients: an aluminum-related disease? Int J Artif Organs 1987 Mar)

Aluminum Toxicity 5“In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the distribution of aluminum in different regions of brain and body organs of male albino rats, following subacute and acute aluminum exposure. Aluminum was observed to accumulate in all regions of the brain with maximum accumulation in the hippocampus. Aluminum was also seen to compartmentalize in almost all the tissues of the body to varying extents, and the highest accumulation was in the spleen.”– RK Vasishta and KD Gill, Distribution of aluminum in different

brain regions and body organs of rat. Biol Trace Elem Res (1996 May) 52(2):181-92

• “Experimental evidence is summarized to support the hypothesis that chronic exposure to low levels of aluminum may lead to neurological disorders.”– JG Joshi, Aluminum, a neurotoxin which affects diverse

metabolic reactions. Biofactors (1990 Jul) 2(3):163-9

Aluminum Toxicity 6

• “Aluminum intoxicated rabbits did not acquire the conditioned response over the 4 days of testing. This disruption of conditioning in aluminum-treated rabbits could not be attributed to deficits in sensory or motor processes or to illness. Neuropathological analysis revealed widespread neurofibrillary tangle formation in aluminum-treated animals.” – WW Pendlebury, University of Vermont

College of Medicine (Behav Neurosci 1988 Oct)

Aluminum Toxicity 7• “This data defines a new model in which aluminum kills liver cells

by mechanisms distinct from previously recognized pathways of lethal cell injury. It is hypothesized that aluminum binds to cytoskeletal proteins intimately associated with the plasma membrane. This interaction eventually disrupts the permeability barrier function of the cell membrane, an event that heralds the death of the hepatocyte.”– JW Snyder et al., Department of Pathology, Thomas Jefferson

University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Arch Biochem Biophys 1995)• “Epidemiological studies from Norway and England suggest a

relation between the frequency of Alzheimer's disease and the concentration of aluminum in the drinking water. Estimates, made in this study, show that the role of aluminum from tooth pastes may be even more important than that from the drinking water. For that reason we determined in samples of tooth pastes taken from the BENELUX market which brands contained aluminum. This appeared to be the case for about 22% of the brands which according to the manufacturers cover about 60% of the market.”– RM Verbeeck, Laboratory for Analytical Chemistry, State University,

Gent, Belgium (Acta Stomatol Belg 1990 Jun)

Aluminum Toxicity 8• “We report six cases of patients with renal failure and

exposure to aluminum who developed septicemia. In all cases the serum aluminum increased markedly. This may have contributed to the neurological dysfunction seen in five, and the deaths of four of the patients. We suggest that the rise in serum aluminum was due to the release of tissue-bound aluminum, resulting in an increase in free, diffusable aluminum and that this jeopardized both neurological function and immunocompetence.”– A Davenport et al. Renal Unit, Royal Liverpool Hospital,

England• “Attention was first drawn to the potential role of aluminum

as a toxic metal over 50 years ago… the accumulation of aluminum is associated with the development of toxic phenomena; dialysis encephalopathy, osteomalacic dialysis osteodystrophy, and an anemia. Aluminum has also been implicated as a toxic agent in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease, Guamiam amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and parkinsonism-dementia.”– CD Hewitt et al., University of Virginia Health Sciences Center,

Charlottesville

Aluminum Toxicity 9• “It has been a dozen years since aluminum

was first shown to contaminate parenteral nutrition solutions and to be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of metabolic bone disease in parenteral nutrition patients as well as in uremic patients.”– GL Klein, Department of Pediatrics, University of

Texas Medical Branch, Galveston. • “Aluminum related osteodystrophy is the

most important manifestation of trace metal toxicity related to degenerative diseases of the skeleton.”– J Savory et al., Acta Pharmacol Toxicol

(Copenhagen, 1986)

Aluminum Toxicity 10• “Three patients had subcutaneous nodules at the sites of

previous injections of vaccine containing tetanus toxoid. Biopsy and microscopic findings in all three cases showed foci of granulomatous inflammation, consisting of lymphoid follicles, in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissues and a surrounding infiltrate of lymphocytes, histiocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils. Occasional zones of eosinophilic necrosis were seen within the inflammatory foci, and surrounding dense fibrous bands were present in some areas. A solochrome-azurin stain showed aluminum crystals in the nodules from two patients. From the evidence available, we believe that these nodules are a complication of inoculations with aluminum-containing vaccines.”– H Fawcett and N Smith, Arch Dermatol. 1984: Injection-site

granuloma due to aluminum.

FDA Warns Against Aluminum• In response complaints by Glen Scott, MD, of

Cincinnati and Patricia Saunders, a government microbiologist, warning of aluminum neurotoxicity, the FDA is now requiring aluminum-bearing antiperspirants to carry a renal dysfunction warning (June 9, 2003).

• According the Antiperspirant Products Final Monograph, the FDA is – “concerned that people with renal dysfunction may not be

aware that the daily use of antiperspirant drug products containing aluminum may put them at higher risk because of exposure to aluminum in the product.”

• Young children are – “at higher risk resulting from exposure to aluminum.”

• Parents and others – “must keep these products away from children, and to seek

professional assistance if accidental ingestion occurs.”

Common Chemicals• YL surveyed over 30 different brands of stick deodorant from

main-stream retailers, health food stores, and other MLMs.• Every one either contained aluminum, propylene glycol, or

synthetic petrochemicals—even so-called premium-priced “natural brands.”

• Many contain “stearates”—a product of the animal rendering industry which utilizes a "witch's brew" of animal parts: spinal cords, brains, eyeballs, and intestines.

• 250 rendering plants in the US produce 100 million pounds DAILY of slaughtered animal remains such as bones, blood, hides, offal, feathers, as well as road kill, spoiled grocery meat, and euthanized dogs, cats, and horses.

• This material is the raw material from which tallow, lard, protein meal, and cosmetics are made.

• The National Renderer's Association says rendered waste is used in:– 1. Ingredients in livestock and pet rations– 2. Ingredients in industrial processes– 3. The manufacture of soaps and personal care products– 4. Edible products for the food industry

Stearates Are Suspect• Almost all stearates found in personal hygiene and cosmetic products

are animal-derived, usually from rendered cattle or animal parts
