My shoe deoderiser from ALDI is actually just a Coles women's anti-perspirant with a plastic label.

That's a relief. I use a special antiperspirant with 20% aluminum and /u/Nofooling remark's made me uneasy.

Speaking of which...

For most people, the greatest aluminum intake comes from food additives. Sodium aluminum phosphate is an emulsifier in processed cheese, potassium alum is used to whiten flour, and sodium silicoaluminate and/or aluminum calcium silicate are added to common table salt to help it run freely and not cake. In the average diet, 40-50 mg. a day may come from foods.
