Aluminum is not "inert" in the human body. Normal levels of aluminum are typically filtered out by the kidneys.
One thing consumers should realize is decisions to use a product or material are based on acceptable risk.
Dialysis patients typical suffer dementia from high concentrations of aluminum in the brain. They are medicated to remove this aluminum as part of the dialysis treatment.
Soda cans and such are typically anodized or otherwise treated to prevent aluminum from leaching.
I have no idea if a monitor drinking from an aluminum bowl will get sick though.
