Question
My mother-in-law is a disabled veteran who suffers such maladies as
Alzheimer's, several bone disorders, blindness, etc. During her
years of military service as a Marine, she was directly exposed to aluminum
oxide and now has developed diabetes. I know
that many of her illnesses are probably and likely caused by exposure to
the aluminum oxide.
Is there any connection found to date between exposure to aluminum oxide
and
type 2 diabetes? Any information you can provide would be greatly
appreciated.
Answer
I am unaware of such a link. I did a search of
PubMed
and found 13 articles referencing both "aluminum oxide" and "diabetes" --
none seem to imply that there's a link.
On the other hand, if your mother-in-law was exposed to
dioxin
(in Agent Orange), there's a link between that exposure and
type 2 diabetes.
