Aluminium en voeding. De link tussen bepaalde vormen van dementie en
aluminium was al langer bekend maar de link met Alzheimer is nog
steeds een discussie punt maar lijkt in deze zaak toch wel duidelijk.
Is lippenstift giftig? Een vrouw slikt gemiddeld
in haar leven 2 tot 4 kilogram lippenstift en/ of lipgloss in. De
in deze producten aanwezige synthetische kleurstoffen, aluminium
en Coal tar, worden door het lichaam opgenomen en in de organen
of het vetweefsel opgeslagen. http://gezondheid.infoblog.be/lichaamsverzorging/

voor zuigelingenvoeding Bij de bereiding van zuigelingenvoeding
in poedervorm kan leidingwater geschikt zijn. Afgeraden wordt echter:
• Water uit boiler of geiser • water gekookt in ketels die een aluminium
bodem bevatten of helemaal van aluminium zijn gemaakt • water dat
aangevoerd wordt via loden leidingen. Dit laatste kan het geval
zijn in huizen gebouwd voor 1950. Over de buitenleidingen kunt u
informatie krijgen bij het waterleidingbedrijf, over de binnenleidingen
bij de huiseigenaar. • Water uit chemisch verontreinigde waterputten
(zelfs wanneer het gekookt is). http://www.keukenkikker.nl/voedingsadvies.html
The World Health Organization has estimated that
individuals who regularly ingest these aluminum-containing pharmaceuticals
may have intakes as high as 5 grams per day. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/water-eau/

Infants and adults who received large doses of aluminum as a treatment
for another problem developed bone diseases, which suggests that
aluminum may cause skeletal problems. Some sensitive people develop
skin rashes from using aluminum chlorohydrate deodorants. Some soy-based
formulas may contain high levels of aluminum, so parents may want
to consult with their physician when choosing an infant formula.
http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts22.html Aluminum has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases, such as dialysis encephalopathy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinsonism dementia in the Ki peninsula and Guam, and in particular, Alzheimer's disease. Although this association remains controversial, there is increasing evidence which suggests the implication of metal homeostasis in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Aluminum, zinc, copper, and iron cause the conformational changes of Alzheimer's amyloid-beta protein. Al causes the accumulation of tau protein and amyloid-beta protein in experimental animals. Aluminum induces neuronal apoptosis in vivo as well as in vitro. Furthermore, a relationship between aluminum and the iron-homeostasis or calcium-homeostasis has been suggested. Based on these findings, the characteristics of aluminum neurotoxicity are reviewed, and the potential link between aluminum and neurodegenerative diseases is reconsidered. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db= pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16308486&query_hl=9 &itool=pubmed_docsum Brain: aluminum, magnesium and phosphorus contents of control and Alzheimer-diseased patients. Andrasi E, Pali N, Molnar Z, Kosel S. Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, L. Eotvos University, Budapest, Hungary. anal@para.chem.elte.hu A study was undertaken to determine Al, Mg and P concentrations in 5 different brain regions of 3 control and 3 Alzheimer-diseased patients. One of the aims of this work was to evaluate the performance of applied analytical techniques. The digested samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry for Al, Mg and P. The dried samples were measured by instrumental neutron activation analysis for Al and Mg. The determination of human brain Al levels is
complicated by the interfering reaction of P. We have previously
worked out an analytical method which can eliminate this interference.
The accuracy of the measured data was investigated by the analysis
of biological standard reference materials. Our second goal was
to study the possible elemental concentration changes in Alzheimer-diseased
patients. Significantly higher Al and lower Mg and P values were
found in some AD brain regions compared to the controls. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&

Silica in drinking water may reduce the risk of developing AD in
elderly women Cognitive impairment and composition of drinking water
in women: findings of the EPIDOS Study. Gillette-Guynnet S, Andrieu
S, Nourhashemi F, de La Gueronniere V, Grandjean H, Vellas B. Service
de Médecine Interne et Gérontologie Clinique, Hôpital Casselardit,
Toulouse, France. gillete.s@chu-toulouse.fr BACKGROUND: The concentration
of aluminum or silica in drinking water may be a potential environmental
risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD). CONCLUSIONS: Silica in drinking
water may reduce the risk of developing AD in elderly women. The
results corroborate those of another epidemiologic study carried
out in France. The potential effect of silica needs to be confirmed
in additional investigations. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve
