Yes, but if you eat it, you will probably die.

While the toxicity of aluminum at low, repeated doses seems established,
I'm not aware of any studies of acute toxicity following massive
ingestion of aluminum or its compounds. Any pointers? My guess is that
it is _not_ fatal at any achievable dose, particularly for elemental
aluminum and indigestible compounds. Even mercury is not highly toxic
in its elemental form--at one time, swallowing mercury was an accepted
therapy for GI tract obstruction.

No studies. Go ahead and eat all you want.
