There are few unnatural substances made in a lab. There are many unnatural concentrations of natural substances. I would think that *organic* salts [Using the term organic quite loosly] would be even more dangerous as 'we' are organic. A little bit of hydrochloric acid can make 'salts' out of nearly anything. If we need a few micrograms and reject the rest, how dangerous is that which doesn't have a pathway regardless of concentration? Naturally, everyone is different and all this will vary from person to person. If you tend to absorb dirt easily, it only takes a little to get dirty and the whole planet is made of dirt, avoiding the mountains won't keep the molehills off when an anthill is enough. [Might slow em down some though] A better bet would be to find soap and bathe as needed.
Cilantro? The second hand smoke issue is something like this. OK, so smoke is bad. Either leave this bar and hide out in your own little bubble, or go pick on a fleet of busses, a volcano or a forest fire... ya chicken shit Nazi. Whole cafeterias don't serve peanut butter because one person MIGHT be allergic? Gimme a break! [Go shoot Jimmy Carter fer Chrissake] Many more people have big problems with bees. There's not enough DDT to kill all the bees..so get one under your bonnet and pick on that poor guy who has one small avoidable beehive ten miles out of town. Ode "I first wrote about aluminum as a possible cause of Alzheimer's disease in 1983, and here it is all these years later and they're still not sure. But things don't look promising. The deal is this. Aluminum is suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer's disease, a form of degenerative senile dementia thought to afflict 5-10 percent of all persons over 65. Victims of Alzheimer's have been found to have four times the normal concentration of aluminum in their brain cells. Aluminum is known to be a neurotoxin that can cause brain damage if you're exposed to it in sufficiently large amounts. The question is whether chronic exposure to small amounts can affect you. Despite lots of research, we still don't know. But several studies have shown that people exposed to higher-than-average amounts of aluminum tend to have higher rates of Alzheimer's. It's obvious aluminum isn't the sole cause of Alzheimer's disease, since many people don't contract it, even in environments where they're exposed to high amounts of aluminum. In fact, there's some indication that a predisposition to the disease may be hereditary. Thus if one of your forebears had Alzheimer's, you may have inherited some genetic kink that makes you especially vulnerable to aluminum poisoning. In any case, aluminum isn't easy to avoid. You can probably dump your aluminum cookware without too much trouble, but you'll find aluminum is also contained in many common antacids and antiperspirants. I note, for example, that my friendly bottle of Ban Basic here contains aluminum chloride and aluminum chlorhydrate. (Granted, you can now get aluminum-free deodorants.) Even more insidious, aluminum is added to many municipal water supplies to help remove floating debris. Aluminum is also found in household baking powder, self-rising flour, cake mix, pancake batter, and frozen dough (as sodium aluminum phosphate, a leavening agent); in nondairy creamers, table salt, and other powdered foods (as an anticaking ingredient); in processed cheese (as an emulsifier); and in hemorrhoid preparations (up to 50 percent aluminum hydroxide). The known human requirement for aluminum, you may be interested to know, is absolutely zero.
