When you look at the birth hepatitis B vaccine that has anywhere between 250 to 330 micrograms of aluminum in it. The exposure limit for aluminum through parenteral nutrition, the daily limit on aluminum exposure is 5 micrograms. But yet that same pre meat, they're injecting over 250 to 330 micrograms of aluminum to over 50 times what the limit should.

And today we're going to dive into an important and timely topic, aluminum exposure. And it's something that most parents don't think much about, and the ones that do think about it tend to be told not to worry about it. But there really is more to understand here on this topic because it's not just about where aluminum may show up, but it's about what can happen after it enters the body and especially when it comes to the immune function and the brain. So this is a topic that's worth diving into. And my guest is a friend of the show, Dr. Brian Hooker. He is back. He is the chief science officer at Children's Health Defense, and he's been on several times before to help us unpack complex topics and to kind of crystallize the insights in a clear and grounded way. So, so in this conversation, that's what we're going to do about the topic of aluminum. What's known, what's often overlooked, and what it may mean for our kids. The secret this week is take aluminum exposure seriously. And, Brian, I'm delighted to welcome you back.

Well, thanks so much, Lynn. It's always great to be back, and I don't know how to follow an introduction like that. The fact that we're talking during Autism Awareness Month, you know, obviously autism parenting secrets, that's what you talk about every podcast, and I'm so thankful for it. But this is different. This is special. You know, I'm looking forward, and I really feel like this is the year that we expand the audiences, we reach new audiences, and that more people hear the word, get the word, and then also are able to help their kids in a way that they've never been able to help them before.
