Does aluminium accumulate in the body?

Aluminium is the most common metal in the Earth’s crust. We take it in every day, mainly through unprocessed foods such as fruit and vegetables, cereal products and cocoa. The body also absorbs aluminium when using antiperspirants that contain it – however, in much smaller amounts compared to the intake from food. Most of it is excreted through the kidneys.

Aluminium that is not excreted can accumulate over time in certain organs and tissues, particularly in bone tissue and the brain. However, the amount is generally very small and, according to current research, is considered to be harmless.
