Aluminium is inorganic metal as foil ,or compounds as aluminium sulfate such as alum ,which is used for water sedimentation
A very small amount of the aluminum in food or water will enter your body through the digestive tract. An extremely small amount of the aluminum found in antacids will be absorbed.
- Dermal contact
A very small amount may enter through your skin when you come into contact with aluminum.Leave your bodyMost aluminum in food, water, and medicines leaves your body quickly in the feces. Much of the small amount of aluminum that does enter the bloodstream will quickly leave your body in the urine .so aluminium is dangerous for renal failure and cause dimentia ,and toxicity to fishes .
Dear Prof. Alasadi,
In-vivo studies have found exposure to Al toxicity in rats and mice, although data are not conclusive for humans. It has been reported Al causes phosphate depletion in tissues and lowers phosphate absorption from the digestive tract. The depletion of phosphates can lead to Alzheimer’s disease. Please see “Luckey, T.D. and B. Venugopal, Metal Toxicity in Mammals. (New York: Plenum Press, 1977).” Therefore, the existence of phosphorous in the daily diet decreases the concerns in this regard.
Dear Aiden ,thankyou for your valuable comments,but aluminium in tea was found
to increase the risk of dementia.aluminium is leached from aluminum foil and other metallic foils.
Please take a look at these useful RG links and PDF attachments.

Dear Arvind ,you great researcher,see this reference
Aluminium is toxic element that affect human health,see attached file
Aluminium is very toxic to marine life and water, Aluminum-contaminated water has no taste or odor. However, very high aluminum levels can sometimes cause water to have a bluish color. The only way to know if your drinking water has elevated levels of aluminum is to have it tested by a state-certified water testing laboratory. You can find a certified laboratory by searching the telephone directory under “Laboratories- Testing” or by searching the lab lists on the Department of Natural Resources website: http://dnr.wi.gov/org/es/science/lc/PW/Lablist,SEE ATTACHED FILE

Tthere may be a link between aluminium and Alzheimer’s disease, the commonest cause of senile dementia ,

Aluminium in Drinking-water
One of the primary goals of WHO and its member states is that “all people, whatevertheir stage of development and their social and economic conditions, have the right tohave access to an adequate supply of safe drinking water.

Research revealed that drinking tea and cofee may brings aluminium,
While aluminum is the third most abundant element on Earth, it may not be good for our brain, something we learned studying foundry workers exposed to particularly high levels. Although the role of aluminum in the development of brain diseases like Alzheimer’s is controversial, to be prudent, steps should probably be taken to lessen our exposure to this metal.
There are a number of aluminum-containing drugs on the market (like antacids, which have the highest levels), though aluminum compounds are also added to processed foods such as anti-caking agents in pancake mix, melting agents in American cheese, meat binders, gravy thickeners, rising agents in some baking powders and dye-binders in candy. Therefore, it’s better to stick to unprocessed, natural foods. Also, if you cook those natural foods in an aluminum pot, a significant amount of aluminum can leach into the food (compared to cooking in stainless steel).
When researchers tried the same experiment with tea, they got a few milligrams of aluminum regardless of what type of pot they used, suggesting that aluminum was in the tea itself. Indeed, see attached file
Dear friend ,thankyou for good reply ,and i am putting some notes here
Truth is that during cooking, a certain amount of Aluminum is leached into food and the amount of leaching increases if the pan is pitted or old and worn. The longer the food is cooked or kept in the pot, more is the leaching…and same goes for the acidity of foods, more acidic is the food(vinegar, tomato sauce etc.), more aluminum is leached into it!
On an average aluminum pots add about 1–2mg of aluminum to our daily intake. We do get around 10mg of Aluminum daily from different sources (including cookwares). WHO estimated safe upper limit for aluminum consumption for adults is 50mg.,so be careful from these pots and aluminium leak .
Aluminium is very toxic to human and marine,drinking green tea is affecting dimentia and aluminium uptake ,see attache
