Despite being the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, scientific consensus is clear: aluminium is not required for the human body and serves no known biological function. It is a non-essential element that can cause harm in high concentrations, particularly for individuals with impaired renal function.

Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust, found in everything from soil to the food we eat. So, has table salt got aluminium in it, and if so, is it cause for concern? The answer involves understanding food processing and the different forms aluminium can take.
