CONT

Some reports have indicated that fluoride can ameliorate aluminum toxicity to trout by the formation of fluoride-aluminum complexes, but other studies suggest that fluoride can act synergistically to enhance aluminum toxicity.

CONT

Similar to curing osteoporosis, fluoride has been proposed as a preventive measure (sic) against Alzheimer's Disease (AD) based on the presumption that by direct competition in the gut, fluoride would decrease aluminum uptake (Kraus and Forbes, 1992). Rather, such antagonism (Li, et al. 1990) is due to the formation of aluminum-fluoride complex (Li, et al. 1991).

OBS

The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) recommends the form "aluminium" instead of "aluminum."
