Question:

Manufacturer's are Stupid?

Why do they make bottle (say pill bottles) cap seal of aluminum (some with paper laminate) which when you remove from the bottle, pieces of aluminum stays in the bottle rimThere is always a chance you will ingest this aluminum and Alumis a suspect in alzhiemer's disease

Answer:

1) This amount of aluminum on a medicine bottle is not going to make a difference, as ingestion and retention rates are very low for dietary aluminum (you are more likely to get aluminum from actual foods that contain it, like American cheese slices)2) Many bottle protection foils are made from a Magnesium alloy.
