that's not an fallacy, it's fact..
more than half of your posts are directed towards chemtrails, why? why does it bother you so much that people believe in chemtrail theories?
and better yet, what makes you think a "chemmie" is or ever has listen to you?
because all I ever see is you bloating about chemtrails and people disregarding you as a disinfo. [
And why does that bother you??
Just because someone says "aluminum", it does not mean that they are referring to elemental aluminum as is found in the earth's crust. Do you know anything of chemistry? You do know that aluminum can be complexed with other elements into larger molecules that have detrimental effects on life? You know complexed aluminum is used as deodorant because it inhibits bacterial growth?

(But) attacking someone for simply giving the opposite view Is completely against the whole spirit of a discussion board. It also suggests an inability to answer the points raised and that the real truth is somehow uncomfortable, but maybe that is just my interpretation.
Whatever, all the "why do you post here" "you are a troll" replies are very distasteful examples of cyber bullying. I would never trust a word said by anyone who's case was so weak they had to resort to it. Can't people just address the topic?
oh and chemtrails are real you cant prove otherwise, trololol

One flaw with the so-called "aluminum debunking". You know what else is ubiquitous in our environment? Arsenic. Its present in our drinking water, in our soil, in the rain. Does that mean it is good for you? That in high enough concentrations, it wont have a negative health impact?
- from a page of the link above
Aluminum toxicity was originally described in the mid-to-late 1970s in a series of patients in Newcastle, England, through an associated osteomalacic dialysis osteodystrophy that appeared to reverse itself upon changing of the dialysate water to deionized water (ie, aluminum-depleted water).
90% specific and has a positive predictive value of 85% for aluminum toxicity.

As to the previous poster who rebutted my claim, dilution is irrelevant. The point is that, just becuase something is naturally occurring does not mean it is safe. And dilution certainly doesnt mean anything unless you qualify it with the information of at what level it becomes toxic.
The average adult in the U.S. eats about 7-9 mg aluminum per day in their food.

Thank you, that was exactly the point I was trying to make. I am certainly not claiming chemtrails are real-i dont claim to know either way. I simply want to make it known that just because it is in the environment does not mean it is safe.
