heal.abstract	Aluminium content of foods, as well as dietary aluminium intake of the Greek adult population, was determined using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy after microwave sample digestion and food consumption data. Al content ranged from 0.02 to 741.2mg kg-1, with spices, high-spice foods, cereal products, vegetables and pulses found to be high in Al. Differences in aluminium content were found between different food classes from Greece and those from some other countries. Aluminium intake of Greeks is 3.7 mg/day based on DAFNE Food Availability Databank, which uses data from the Household Budget Surveys. On the other hand, according to the per capita food consumption data collected by both national and international organisations, Al intake is 6.4 mgday-1. Greek adult population has an Al intake lower than the Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake of 7mgkg-1 body weight established by EFSA. Cereals and vegetables are the main Al contributors, providing 72.4% of daily intake. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.	en
