On Fluoride and the Human Body's Extra Absorption of Aluminum

Since modern times, it has been observed that the body is affected by foreign objects. Among many substances, the relationship between fluoride and aluminum is quite intriguing.

Fluoride is found in water, food and various daily necessities. People often come into contact with it, drink fluoridated water or use fluoridated products. Aluminum is also widely distributed around, such as kitchenware, packaging and the like.

It is said that fluoride can cause the human body to absorb extra aluminum. What is the reason? Because fluoride enters the body, it can interact with various ions in the body to change the physiological environment. Fluoride ions are active and can combine with aluminum ions to form some kind of complex. The transport and metabolism of this complex in the body may be abnormal.

When the human body ingests fluoride, fluoride ions may disrupt the normal function of cells. Cells, the basic elements of the human body, control the entry and exit of substances. The intervention of fluoride changes the permeability of cells to aluminum ions. Aluminum ions are not easy to enter cells, but due to fluoride, their entry into cells may be smoother, resulting in an increase in the content of aluminum in cells.

And fluoride may affect the operation of the digestive system. The stomach is a place for food and digestion, and fluoride interferes with the acid-base balance of the stomach and the activity of enzymes. Under this change, the absorption of aluminum in the intestines may be promoted. Some of the aluminum that is originally excreted from the body remains in the body due to the influence of fluoride.

Furthermore, the kidneys are the important officials of excretion and are responsible for filtering out waste from the body. When fluoride damages the function of the kidneys, the excretion ability of aluminum is also reduced. Aluminum accumulates in the body and is difficult to produce, causing the amount of aluminum in the human body to exceed normal.

However, there are also different opinions. In other words, the human body has the ability to regulate itself. Although it is exposed to fluoride, it can also control the absorption of aluminum. And the amount of aluminum and fluoride in the environment has not reached the level of obvious harm. However, after thinking about it, although the human body has the ability to regulate, it may be difficult to regulate the invasion of foreign objects due to long-term and excessive exposure to fluoride

The relationship between fluoride and the additional absorption of aluminum by the human body needs to be further explored. People should pay attention to the amount of fluoride exposure in their daily lives to maintain their health. Or avoid high-fluoride products, or find clean water sources to reduce the potential threat of fluoride and aluminum to the body.
