Any risks from aluminum

If there have been any studies done on aluminum-paper (candy,
chocolate wrappers) and whether the aluminum can migrate into
the food, please advise.

It dawned on me, as I was munching on some Lindt
chocolates, just now.

Am I just too worried about nothing?

Yes.

The notion that aluminum causes Alzheimer's disease has been
largely discredited.

I beleive food wrapped in aluminum foil have an inner plastic
coating on it (by law). Aluminum is a nasty contaminent that
cannot be chelated from your body in any way known so far.

Try this. Salt some old food, like stew (to speed up the
process) and place aluminum foil on the top in contact with
the food. Place in fridge or on counter. Check a few days
later and see if their are holes eaten into the aluminum. It
may take a few days to week.

The defenders of the aluminum/alzheimers connection cannot
remember how they did the testing anymore.

Alcan studies indicate eating aluminum is good for you.

Why would it remain in the body, and why must it be removed?

What would this prove?

Aluminum is one of the most common elements on the planet.
Any species that had a toxic reaction to it would have died
out long ago.

In that case there is no point in furthering this
conversation. Go breathe some asbestos and prove your point.
Wait! That will take to long. Eat some mushrooms from your
front yard lawn. That should take about 12 hours. I guess you
wouldn't be here to admit it though....would you?

Asbestos is not ubiquitous in the environment.

I don't have a front yard.

I don't see your point.

There's quite a bit of iron and copper out there as well.

Ubiquity doesn't say a great deal about whether
higher-than-average dietary levels are deleterious or not.
