Cutting Aluminium Intake can Reduce Potential Health Risk

Reducing the consumption of food kept in aluminum packaging can minimize the potential health risks, reports a new study.

Minimizing the intake of food kept in the aluminum package can decrease potential health risks, reports a new study.

The BFR: Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Germany, bases its assessment of the population's aluminum intake from food on the latest consumption and concentration data.

Reducing Aluminum Intake can Minimize Potential Health Risks: Study
Minimizing the intake of aluminum can decrease potential health risks, reports a new study. The contributions of the various sources of total aluminum intake by the population were compared with one another.

‘A high intake of aluminum compounds can cause neurotoxic developmental disorders as well as damage the kidneys, liver, and bones.’

According to the research, consumption data are collected through consumer surveys and provide information on which foods and how much of them are eaten by different consumer groups.

For the risk assessment of aluminum intake, the BfR uses the tolerable weekly intake (TWI) derived from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of 1-milligram aluminum per kilogram body weight.

The BfR's assessment showed that aluminum intake from food is lower compared to previous studies.

Aluminum�s Toxic Effects can be Counteracted by Necrostatin-1
Necrostatin-1 can be used to effectively counteract the many of the toxic effects of aluminum.

If other relevant sources of aluminum intake are taken into accounts, such as aluminum-containing cosmetic products and uncoated food contact materials, the total intake can exhaust or even exceed the TWI for all age groups.

According to BFR, consumers can influence their aluminum intake. Those who want to reduce their aluminum intake should use aluminum-containing antiperspirants and toothpaste sparingly.

Is the Population Decline in Bees Due To Aluminum-Induced Alzheimer's Disease?
Accumulation of aluminum in a range of 13 to 200 ppm in pupae was found to occur in at least one stage of the bumblebee life cycle.

When it comes to food, the BfR suggested a varied diet as well as alternating products and brands.

This can contribute to reducing the risk of permanently high aluminum intake caused by individual highly contaminated products.

Chinese Kids Consuming Too Much Aluminum From Food Additives
Over 30 percent of Chinese kids between the ages of 4-6 are consuming too much of aluminum from food additives, finds a new study.

They advised against the preparation and storage of, in particular, acidic and salty foods in uncoated aluminum articles or aluminum foil.
