INTRODUCTION The impact of aluminum on human health has been increasingly alarming in recent years. Aluminum, the most abundant metal, makes up about 8% of the Earth's crust and is found in combination with oxygen, silicon, fluorine and other elements in the soil, rocks, clay and gems (1). It has no known biological function (2). Presently, aluminum utensils are widely used throughout the world, especially in developing countries (3). The use of such utensils may increase one's exposure to aluminum, particularly when used with salty, acidic or alkaline foods (4). Aluminum and its salts are commonly used in daily life, as it was believed to be non-toxic and quickly excreted in the urine. However, this element, in fact, negatively impacts human health (5).
