Aluminum compounds are commonly used as clarifying agents in tap water.
Aluminum by itself is not readily absorbed by the body. However, in the presence of fluoride ions, the fluoride ions combine with the aluminum to form aluminum fluoride, which is absorbed by the body. In the body, the aluminum eventually combines with oxygen to form aluminum oxide or alumina. Alumina is the compound of aluminum that is found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. In the brain, protein binds to alumina, and “That is the key to the plaques and tangles which are the hallmarks of this terrible disease.”
Two studies published in 1998 and 1999 illustrate why it is crucial, whether for or against fluoridation, that we refocus our attention on fluoride. One study reported a paradoxical effect that showed that exposure to low levels of aluminum fluoride delivered twice the amount of aluminum (as alumina) to the brain than concentrations 100 times the lower levels. At the same levels used to fluoridate our drinking water, sodium fluoride caused excessive kidney damage and lesions in the brain similar to those found in humans with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
