For some individuals, their identity and sense-of-self depends on them consistently and un-questioningly supporting whatever the brokers-of-power say. Without this blind adherence, they would be forced to develop their own ideas. If we were all as naive as that, we would still be using lead in our gas and paint, and mercury in clothing and thermometers.
For a scientist to state that their research "indicates a cor-relation" or "suggests a relationship", or other such qualifications, means that a definite co-incidence has been noticed. For even these qualified statements to appear in the summary, some data that is beyond a normal range of activity must appear. They do not make these statements lightly, and err on the side of caution.

Excerpt #14: Aluminium is known to have a genotoxic profile, capable of causing both DNA alterations and epigenetic effects, and this would be consistent with a potential role in breast cancer if such effects occurred in breast cells.

Marcus, no qualifications in #'s 5 and 14.




We can all agree eating arsenic or lead or mercury is bad. Yes.

Actually we are demonstrating healthy skepticism. We read the full statement. See the qualifiers attached. And make a decision based on evidence. You, mi amigo, aren't being a skeptic...you're acting exactly like the anti-vaccination crowd. All of your links require ingestion or injection or occupational exposure to metal dust. None of the "maybe" correlations ATM apply to wearing garments like aluminum socks.


Don't live near superfund sites, or drink groundwater contaminated by the aforesaid...and if you're a metal worker, use a respirator, and follow PPE protocol.



You'll probably get sick from eating or huffing-the-dust from cro-moly steel, titanium, or carbon fiber too, not just Al.
