Aluminum salts may be irritating or cause allergies in some, but plenty of people take about a half gram of aluminum hydroxide as an antacid on a regular basis.

Aluminum salts may be irritating or cause allergies in some, but plenty of people take about a half gram of aluminum hydroxide as an antacid on a regular basis. That's a lot different than the milligram amounts which are concerning to those whom I assume would not come within a mile of Mylanta. Sometimes dissolved metals turned out to be more toxic than was originally thought, but regular aluminum consumption sure doesn't look like there's any consensus that it kills easily. Even though it may not be very ideal either. Definitely not completely non-toxic though, and way more absorbed in some forms than others.
