Is aluminium a safe metal to put in ones mouth without any side effects?
Why wouldn't it be. You drink soda from an aluminum can, you wrap food in aluminum foil.
Heck yeah dude!! I love the taste of alluminum!
yes because saliva cannot break down aluminium. Saliva can only break down starch like break using it's enzymes(amylase)
I just saw a post on Facebook to whiten your teeth....just like professionals. Put salt,baking soda, and toothpaste mixed together. Spread on teeth. Wrap aluminum foil over teeth and let set. So I'm wondering if the aluminum foil at this point leeches into your mouth???
The jury is still out on this one. Aluminum in the body has been directly connected as a causal factor for alzheimer's disease. Think about this : Small amounts of it are infused in many of the things we eat and drink every day. Any food or drink item that comes from an aluminum container has small amounts of aluminum that has leached into those items that you then eat/drink. Aluminum cooking pots/pans are said to leach aluminum into the foods that are prepared in them. Even cooking with aluminum foil adds to the amount of aluminum you are slowly accumulating within your body and brain tissues. The amounts of aluminum we take into our bodies in these ways may be individually small and insignificant as far as health hazards are concerned. But when you add them up over the course of a lifetime the amount becomes rather alarming. As far as aluminum dental tools or prosthetic oral devices braces....who knows how much they contribute to health issues associated with one's overall lifetime exposure. Like I said in the beginning, the jury is still out on this one.
