What is an adjuvant and why are adjuvants added to vaccines?
An adjuvant is an ingredient of a vaccine that helps create a stronger immune response in the patient’s body. In other words, adjuvants help vaccines work better. Some vaccines made from weakened or dead germs contain naturally occurring adjuvants and help the body produce a strong protective immune response. However, most vaccines developed today include just small components of germs, such as their proteins, rather than the entire virus or bacteria. These vaccines often must be made with adjuvants to ensure the body produces an immune response strong enough to protect the patient from the germ he or she is being vaccinated against.
Two adjuvants, aluminum and monophosphoryl lipid A, are used in some U.S. vaccines.
Aluminum gels or aluminum salts are vaccine ingredients that have been used in vaccines since the 1930s. Small amounts of aluminum are added to help the body build stronger immunity against the germ in the vaccine. Aluminum is one of the most common metals found in nature and is present in air, food, and water. The amount of aluminum present in vaccines is low and is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Monophosphoryl lipid A has been used since 2009 in one vaccine in the US, Cervarix. This immune-boosting substance was isolated from the surface of bacteria. It has been tested for safety in tens of thousands of people and found to be safe.
Does one small dose of aluminum cause dementia?
Aluminum and dementia: Is there a link?
Risk factors are aspects of people, their lifestyle and environment that contribute to the likelihood of getting a disease. While there are some risk factors that you can control, such as changing your diet to help lower your blood pressure, there are other factors that are beyond your control like your age or genes.
Studies have not provided strong evidence of aluminum being a risk factor for the development of dementia.
What is aluminum?
We usually think of aluminum as a light silvery metal used to make pots and pans, airplanes or tools, but it also has a non-metallic form. This form of aluminum makes up eight per cent of the earth's surface. Aluminum in small amounts is referred to as ”trace elements,“ and are found in our environment and in our bodies. These amounts are “normal” and are not harmful.
Where is aluminum found?
In the environment
Because these trace elements are present in the earth, they occur naturally in the foods we eat, in our drinking water and are even added to the water treatment process in some municipalities. Trace elements of aluminum may also be found in:
Many processed foods
Cosmetics and personal hygiene products, such as deodorants and nasal sprays
Some drugs in order to make them more effective or less irritating
The air we breathe from dry soil, cigarette smoke, pesticide sprays and aluminum-based paint.
In our bodies
Aluminum is present in the body, but its role is not fully understood. Very little of the aluminum taken in by a healthy individual is actually absorbed; most of it is flushed out by the kidneys.
Is there a connection between aluminum and the development of dementia?
Aluminum has been studied for over 40 years as a substance that might be linked to dementia. However, there have been many conflicting findings.
Some studies show increased levels of trace elements of aluminum in the brains of people with dementia, while others do not.
Studies have not found an increased incidence of dementia in people with occupational exposure to aluminum.
Tea is one of the few plants whose leaves accumulate larger trace element amounts of aluminum that can seep into the brewed beverage. However, there is no evidence that dementia is more prevalent in cultures that typically drink large amounts of tea.
Unfortunately, earlier animal studies focused on one animal that is particularly susceptible to aluminum poisoning, which has led to incorrect conclusions about the general effects of aluminum on the body.
