Aluminium was measured in samples of plasma and samples of feed obtained from 74
infants with normal renal function established on various feeds (breast, whey-based, fortified
whey-based, preterm, soy, and casein hydrolysate). All infants were bolus fed, and blood
samples were collected midway between feeds. Aluminium was measured using
electrothermal atomization and atomic absorption spectrometry. Mean aluminium
concentrations in milks were as follows: breast, 9.2 micrograms/L [95% confidence interval …
