Aluminium Health Risks

I was talking to some of my colleagues yesterday about all of the things in the world that just don’t seem right. One of them has always had a very strong opinion about drugs and what makes them either legal or illegal. As usual I harped on about diet and how we are all doing it wrong (tongue in cheek), and another brought up how he knows a guy that doesn’t use deodorant because of the aluminium in it – his father had Alzheimer’s and he is worried about getting it too.

We kind of joked around about the guy that doesn’t use deodorant, but this morning my mate tells me that he was watching something on tantric you-know-what last night, and the guy narrating the video suggested that everyone should stay away from products that contain or are stored in aluminium. Apparently it can affect the “performance” of males greatly, while also being something that women should avoid.

After doing some quick research, it looks as though the aluminium thing is something I should really look into. Cooking in aluminium, especially with acidic foods is a real and genuine thing to avoid, and it has been well and truly linked to Alzheimer’s and breast cancer in women.

Soft drink, that disgusting fizzy stuff that I’m so addicted to must eat the hell out of those cans – that can’t be safe either.

Oh well, it’s just more motivation for me to get onto the good food. Raw fruit and veg, all the way.
