Qualifiers and / or context are needed for statements like these, particularly when you consider people consume aluminium on a daily basis - we are trying to avoid unnecessary panic based on partial information here, ideally.
Aluminium is in the air your breathe, in the food you eat, and the water you drink, which is hardly surprising since it is the most common metallic substance on earth - maybe that's why humans have a 100% mortality rate, though? 
(It occurs naturally in, and is also added to, lots of consumable products, eg potatoes, spinach, pharmaceutical products like aspirin and antacids, etc Do I recommend breathing in aluminium dust, or chucking aluminium sprinkles on your next birthday cake? Of course not, but there'd be very few people - if any - who don't consume aluminium).

No qualifier needed as it's a widely known fact that aluminium is highly toxic. Yes, it's in a lot of things and if and where it ocurrs naturally, it's at a level where humans can deal with it as their bodies are designed to. The trick is to avoid it as best one can and reduce the exposure. There are Asprin tablets that don't contain Aluminium. There are also antacids that don't as well. Avoiding acidic drinks in Aluminium cans, using aluminium free anti-perspirants and buying non-fluoridated water ((Some flouride comes from the aluminium-smelter waste, some from the waste from the fertiliser ind.)). Also limiting vaccines to just the necessary ones that may aid with fighting off the real life threatening diseases (((Some vaccines contain aluminium, some contain mercury or formaldehyde))). Also with cooking, using an alternative to baking powder and using stainless steel cookware instead of aluminium is the way to go.

I’m going to have to stop drinking water, especially out of aluminium cups!
Pretty much everything is toxic to humans if consumed in high enough doses, or the wrong way - that's where Darwinism kicks in, I guess....Or maybe Blake was right (“The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom...You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.”)
Just to bring the anti-vax movement back into it, since vaccines can contain aluminium etc, I've seen an exchange numerous times where someone said "if vaccines were healthy, you could put it on a spoon and eat it - try it, you'll die!" [seriously no idea what logic that is based on, but that's by the by....] to which the response is "if broccoli is so healthy, you could put it in a syringe and inject it into your bloodstream - try it, you'll die!"
