Aluminum toxicity is a serious condition that occurs when a person absorbs excessive amounts of aluminum, a metal that often deposits itself in the brain. Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in the earths crust. Aluminum is introduced into the body through the digestive system, lungs and skin and is absorbed into the tissues. Aluminum, though not a heavy metal, can be toxic if it is deposited in the brain. Aluminum toxicity can lead to symptoms similar to Alzheimers disease and osteoporosis and can impair kidney function. Aluminum toxicity can also lead to colic, rickets, gastrointestinal problems, poor calcium metabolism, anemia, headaches and decreased liver function.
