Some humans absorb more Al than others. Plasma 26Al levels in humans who drank 26Al with orange juice, and 26Al with orange juice plus silica. Silica lowers the amount of Al absorbed. The different individuals exhibit a spread of plasma Al values from (A) to (E), the highest being approximately three-fold times greater than the lowest. Note that ranking of subjects’ plasma values is almost in the same order on both occasions. Reproduced from [19] with permission from Elsevier.
