Mike; i don't have inevitable proof, only what I've read from various sources over the years. From what I understand and recall, the aluminum somehow gets into the sodium bicarbonate in the processing stages. I don't know if A & H use aluminum bins, aluminum grinding tools, or what, but from what I've read in the past it's been stated that A & H has aluminum in it. I'm sure it may only be small amounts that enter from the processing stage, but, personally, I want no aluminum entering my body in any fashion. I've read this in the past over a number of years from various sources which is why I seek only pure sodium bicarbonate from drclark.net and drclark.com. You may find some info about it in Dr. Clark's books - if I recall correctly. Dr. Simoncini, of Italy, who uses sodium bicarbonate to treat various kinds of cancer, may also have some info on it. I cannot recall all of my sources because I read so many health newsletters and references daily, monthly and over the course of many years, but from my reading, and recollection, I just won't use A & H Sodium Bicarbonate. There are sources of pure sodium bicarbonate available so I choose to use those. I wish I could elaborate more thoroughly for you, but I can't.
