Those are the two most common ways.
This is incorrect (sorry, Charlie). A single antacid tablet has 1,000 times more aluminum in it than a vaccine. And I imagine antacids are probably part of the average horse trainer's diet. Vaccines are not a notable source of aluminum. A baby ingests more from his momma's milk than he gets in a full course of vaccines. (Pause while I push my nerd glasses back up my nose)

But you're right; you do get it from a number of sources. American cheese is fairly high in it, and if you drink soda or beer from cans you're ingesting it, too. That said, aluminum reaching toxic levels in someone's body is pretty rare; it's likely Larry Jones has a predisposition to it. In any event, glad he's feeling better and back to training.
