Looney tunes buy that mercury and aluminum affect people. The vast majority of boomers grew up eating food cooked in aluminum pots.

Ingesting Aluminum:

Aluminum is poorly absorbed through the digestive system. Most of the aluminum you ingest (such as from food, water, or cookware) is not absorbed into the bloodstream. The small amount that is absorbed tends to be quickly eliminated by the kidneys. Because of this, ingesting aluminum in small amounts, such as in food or drinks, is usually not harmful to most people. However, ingesting very large amounts over time could potentially lead to health problems, as aluminum can accumulate in the body in certain conditions, like kidney disease.

Injecting Aluminum:

Injecting aluminum, on the other hand, would bypass the body's natural defense mechanisms (like the digestive system and liver), allowing it to enter the bloodstream directly. This means the aluminum would be more rapidly distributed to organs and tissues, including the brain, bones, and lungs. Aluminum accumulation in the brain, for example, has been linked to neurotoxicity, and chronic exposure is a potential concern in cases of aluminum-related diseases, like Alzheimer's, though the connection remains debated.
