I've read that Aluminum is used in medicine as a catalyst, in toothpast as an abrasive, its in your dental cement, used as food additives, in your cooking utensils, used in vaccines as an adjuvant, etc. Some say Aluminum is linked to Alzheimer's, types of cancer, and now even autism. Could modern life in the west cause toxic levels of aluminum in our bodies? Sodium-rich water can supposedly detox your body from aluminum, personally I drink water with a very high Sodium content, unfortunaltly some of the brands contain a lot of fluoride - you just can't win :) ...

Most westerners don't get cancer, and most westerners don't get Alzheimers, yet most westerners consume all the things you mentioned. Perhaps the problem isn't as simple as consuming the right things.
