I thought this was interesting, I didn't really realize antacids and
buffered aspirin contained aluminum.

ALUMINUM COOKWARE
Aluminum is in air, water, soil, plants, animals, foods and household
products. More than half of all cookware sold today is made of aluminum,
usually coated with nonstick finishes or treated in some way to harden
the structure and make it more scratch-resistant.
There is no evidence that aluminum causes Alzheimer’s disease as was
once suggested by researchers. However, for those who would like to
avoid exposure to aluminum, the best way would be to avoid antacids
containing aluminum and to use deodorants (which generally do not
contain aluminum) rather than antiperspirants.
Many over-the-counter medicines contain aluminum. One antacid tablet can
contain 50 milligrams of aluminum and a buffered aspirin tablet may
contain about 10 to 20 milligrams of aluminum.
In contrast, a person using uncoated aluminum pans for all cooking and
food storage every day would take in an estimated 3.5 milligrams of
aluminum daily. However, storing highly acidic or salty foods such as
tomato sauce, rhubarb or sauerkraut in aluminum pots may cause more
aluminum than usual to enter the food and is not recommended. (These
foods will also cause pitting on the pot’s surface.)
