Speaker: Moving on to aluminum. Aluminum has been shown to have toxic effects on the gut, the muscles, the nervous system and it can contribute to autoimmunity or neuro autoimmunity, the brain. And here's a quote from a study. Despite this knowledge, aluminum continues to be used in food products, food packaging and vaccines where it may contribute to the autoimmune epidemic we currently face.
Speaker: In fact, aluminum is the third most common naturally occurring element on planet Earth after oxygen and silicone. So it's everywhere again to the air, water, soil, the food supply. The unfortunate thing is that it's also added to many food products, including baby formula and cosmetic products, which is, I think pretty shocking.
Speaker: It's also used as an anti -caking agent in flour, table salt, and baking soda. It is used in certain additives such as emulsifiers. Of course, aluminum cookware is a source of exposure, which is why in the module on cleaning up your child's environment, I recommend
Speaker: getting rid of all aluminum cookware, certain snacks and desserts and baked goods would have it. And basically a lot of products have it either as a contaminant or as an additive. And just like mercury, aluminum can bind to human tissues and cause immune reactions that can lead to auto -immunity. It can also accumulate in the brain and produce inflammation.
Speaker: another one that we need to steer clear of as much as possible. Of course it's impossible to completely avoid it, but we can certainly minimize our exposure.
