Great question Michelle. Given the example of the radiologist who experienced significant improvement in his symptom burden, simply from stopping consumption of seltzer in aluminum cans, I would say that you need to avoid aluminum cans altogether. Although I have a patient who is a chemical engineer in Texas, who would disagree with me vociferously, I would say that the evidence is right in front of us. Whatever is in the can has probably been in there for months, and that has been enough time for some molecules of aluminum to enter the liquid. I am not speaking as an authority in chemistry, but as a focused observer.
Does aluminum leach out of soda cans into the soda, or is it enough to pour it out of the can into a non-aluminum vessel? (I do understand that avoiding sodas entirely would be best.)
