I take it you're using a generous definition of "information".

Ha! I should have apostrophised it.

That's the second time you've used that term, and I am obliged to inform you
that the word you mean is 'quoted'.

To 'apostrophise' means to insert a single ' character to make a possessive
or indicate one or more missing letters.

Oh. Didn't know that. Cheers. 'Quoted' doesn't quite do it though, since
I was really trying to say that I hadn't used quote marks. I think a
phrase rather than a sentence is called for. Clumsy though.

This is what apostrophising means-

Sure, try a bit, but if you're not going to change their mind, so long
as it's not causing too much harm why not let people be a bit crazy?

As a radio ham, I dread the prospect of these kind of nutty views
becoming mainstream. I get enough objections to my antennas on asthetic
grounds without dragging totally unsupported scientific claims about
radiation dangers into the picture!

Dangers from radiation have indeed been used to support objections to
the erection of amateur aerials. Fortunately, in the case of VHF and UHF
aerials at the tops of masts and towers, the amateur can correctly claim
that the radiation at lower levels is reduced when the aerial is raised
well above roof-top level.

Sometimes people are absolutely certain that those damm aerials are
giving then no end of gyp when there not connected to anything even;!...

Don't forget about the 'artisan' baker in Kent who objected
to a street-pole cellular mast on the basis that it would
affect his dough and change the flavour. Can't remember the
outcome unfortunately.

Oh, and also don't forget before you go to bed that you must
put those plastic protection 'plugs' into all of your unused
mains sockets to prevent the electricity leaking out during
the night...............

The woman who rings me from time to time will be delighted with this
news, since she uses a massive amount of cooking foil, not least to wrap
around her head and line her bra. The dog's basket apparently also looks
very swish with its silver paper covering.


How good is her French?

Give her a copy of the book "Quand l?aluminium nous empoisonne" (When
aluminium poisons us) by Virginie Belle.

(The author) highlights studies that support her assertion that the
metal, which plays no role in nor is of any interest to the human body,
is thought to be a cause of cancer and neurological diseases.

I'm sure she will welcome the extra information.

Remember Camelford.

There is lots of information about the toxicity of aluminium in various
forms.

Almost 1400 human-related papers on PubMed. E.g.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23609067

At the same time, I think many of those spouting about it are likely
bonkers and have never read a single decent paper about it. (No expert
here! Just that it does appear to be an issue in some circumstances. But
it also seems impossible to entirely avoid aluminium-containing
substances on a planet where the crust is around 8% aluminium.)
