I have eliminated known sources of aluminum from my diet except for one. I recently learned that the Methylcellulose fiber caplets I take are colored with Yellow #6, an aluminum lake dye. I can’t find any alternative caplets without dye. There is powdered Methylcellulose without dye, but it is difficult to mix with water to drink. I have been taking 6×500 mg caplets per day. My question is whether you might have any idea of how much aluminum this represents and whether my concurrent use of silicade can adequately deal with it. I realize you won’t have a precise answer, but am looking for any kind of guidance. And yes, we should remove all sources of Al, but I find these caplets essential for maintaining fiber input and regularity.
A related question is, at what level of daily intake would Al be considered significantly toxic in terms of its contribution to Alzheimer’s? Can silicade effectively remove ingested Al in small amounts such as the caplets above such that one doesn’t need to worry about it?
Thanks for any help with this.
