...or even aluminum foil wrapping those delicious foods like stuffed potatoes?
...or aluminum cans for drinks and tinned meat? although those seem to have other metal covering them on the inside.
Food/beverage cans are usually coated with BPA to prevent aluminum contamination.
Mmmmmm, yummy.

I'm concerned about aluminum cookware. Though maybe it doesn't leach out? Google edit- it definitely can leach.
I had an Organic Chemistry professor back in like 2001 who swore by the Al link, or at least was very cautious about it and made the lifestyle changes to eliminate all the aluminum cookware she said could leach with the cooking of acidic foods and all. Seemed a pretty easy enough thing to avoid when we went all cast iron and stainless steel. I'm curious what the history to this Al hypothesis is.
For at least 10 years it's been known that alzheimer's victims show deposits of aluminum in their brains. There was no conclusive cause-effect shown though. But I've been avoiding aluminum for ten years now - to be on the safe side. It's also easy enough to avoid aluminum.

Some big names that I've used. Speed Stick, Tom's.. usually it says "deodorant" on the label but not "anti-perspirant"
Problem with this is that it doesn't stop the sweating, which is why I require an 'anti-perspirant'.

...Or aluminum in double-acting baking powders.
The other listed sources require leeching of already bound aluminum, but with baking soda, we are flat out eating 100% of it and it's already oxidized. Sodium aluminum phosphate is also used in cheese making.

Only in the arm-pits. There are plenty of other places to sweat when you're hot.
But still, this is part of why I go out of my way to use deodorant without anti-perspirant. The idea of aluminum bits causing the pores to swell shut doesn't sound like a good idea.
Without anti-perspirant I sweat a lot (which is not a problem) but it's the stink it causes that makes me use them. Anyone has any tips?

#49CPAP humidifiers... the heating plate is aluminum, right? Think of all the CPAP users absorbing Al through respiration.

#50Is it just deodorant or can drinking out if an aluminum soda can or even tin foil around food also cause such?
Aluminum cans are lined with BPA (polymer) .. not likely that this is a major vector. See Table 1.3 here[1] for a discussion of some sources, although it does not cover cans, pots and pans, or foil. [1] https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=1076&tid=34
Great link!
From the table:
"An average adult in the United States eats about 7–9 mg of aluminum per day in their food."
