This is not
a heavy metal but is included because it's so dangerous and is
so prevalent in the environment. Like the metals in this
article, a very small amount of aluminum is toxic to the human
body.
It's present
in many places that you would expect and many that you would
not. Sure, we know that aluminum is present in foil, cans and
cookware. But did you know that it's found in antacids,
anti-diarrhea medication, nasal spray and processed cheese.
Things as innocuous as antiperspirants and buffered aspirin
contain aluminum and they are not so readily eliminated from
daily use not by our on-the-go culture. A few of the products
that can include aluminum in their formula are listed below.

A number of
these are replaceable with almost no effort and it's actually
worthwhile to just do it. But before you can that, you want to
know that it does not end with us. Acid rain performs a part by
accelerating the levels of aluminum compounds in the earth and
as a consequence has increased the levels in both fresh and salt
water. Aluminum enters your body in numerous ways.
You can
drink it with your fave soda. It's absorbed thru the abdominal
tract or the lungs and can finish up in other body parts.
Neurological sicknesses like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and many
others are being studied re excess aluminum in the brain tissue.
Antacids containing aluminum hydroxide can interrupt healthy
bowel functions by causing stress to the courage. For now the
FDA continues to prohibit some natural health additions but they
approve thousands of products for sale that are established as
poisonous.
Lead Poisons
Lead is a particularly unsafe substance according to many
sources and it's presence in numerous products today is just a
scarcity of concern for buyers. Polluted drinking water, old
homes, and tobacco smoke can contain deadly amounts of lead.
Smokers and those exposed to secondhand smoke can get poisoned
by lead. Lead enters the body by consuming or inhaling. The bulk
of lead breathed goes right into the bloodstream and from there
into the bones often and some into the soft tissues and organs.
When ingested, the process starts in the belly. The lead then
travels to the abdominal lining and from there it's soaked up
into the bloodstream. From this point it travels to different
organs.
Indications
of lead poisoning include hard stools.
