Conditions

Aluminium load and aluminium associated health threats

Interventions

Group 1: Excusive consumption of foods without contact to aluminium-containing food contact materials (fcm) for 10 days

- then consumption of foods with intensive utilisation of aluminium-containing fcm during preparation for 10 days

- then foods without contact to aluminium-containing fcm again for 10 days

Eligibility

Sex/Gender

All

Age

18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate within the norm; basal aluminium excretion in urine within the reference range (< 15 µg/g creatinine)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: persons unable to consent; pregant/nursing women; any personal restrictions regarding diet/food consumption (e.g. no vegan/vegetarian diet); renal failure; current or former dialysis; specific immunotherapy with aluminium-containing depot-preparations within the last 5 years; vacations with aluminium-containing vaccines within the last month; use of aluminium-containing long-term medication within the last month; oral intake of healing clay within the last month; new tattoos within the last 12 months; current or former occupation in the aluminium industry

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
repeated measurements of aluminium concentration in urine during diet with either no or respectively intensive contact to aluminium-containing food contact materials: - for evaluation of a measurable additional aluminium burden in humans through utilisation of aluminium-containing food contact materials	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- one-time questionaire regarding personal characteristics (e.g. demography, smoking, etc.) and general contact to other potential aluminium sources - daily food record during intervention	—
