Aluminum Compounds in Food (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025269061)

"Aluminum Compounds in Food" is a detailed scientific exploration into the presence, chemical behavior, and physiological effects of aluminum within the human diet. Authored by Ernest EllsWorth Smith, this comprehensive work examines the diverse ways aluminum enters the food supply, whether through natural occurrence in soil and water or as a result of industrial processing and common kitchen practices.

The study provides a rigorous analysis of the toxicology and metabolism of aluminum compounds, focusing on their use in baking powders and the potential migration of the metal from cookware into meals. By synthesizing laboratory data and clinical research, Smith addresses the significant public health questions of his time regarding the safety of these substances. This work serves as an important historical benchmark in the fields of food science and nutritional chemistry, offering deep insights into the early development of food safety regulations and the scientific methodologies employed to evaluate dietary additives. "Aluminum Compounds in Food" remains a vital resource for scholars and researchers interested in the evolution of food safety standards and the history of chemical analysis in nutrition.
