Overview

Narrative review evaluates dietary aluminium exposure and toxicokinetics across populations, highlighting tissue accumulation and regional exceedance of tolerable intake limits.

Key Points

  • To summarize current scientific evidence on dietary aluminium sources, bioavailability, toxicokinetics, biological mechanisms, and human health risk assessments.
  • Conducted a comprehensive narrative review searching PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
  • Synthesized findings from original research, review articles, and international reports covering dietary intake, food contact materials, additives, absorption, and toxicological mechanisms.
  • Food represents the primary exposure source for the general population, with bioavailability substantially modified by chemical speciation and dietary constituents such as citrate, phytates, and polyphenols.
  • Despite low gastrointestinal absorption, chronic exposure leads to accumulation in bone and the central nervous system via oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and gut microbiota disruption.
  • Population exposure assessments reveal marked regional variability, with certain subgroups approaching or exceeding established tolerable weekly intake limits.
