A recent post raised the issue of aluminum and Alzheimers. As of today,
there is NO science that shows any relationship between aluminum and
the development of Alzheimer's Disease.

Information below below is provided from both the National Institutes
of Health, and the Alzheimer's Association (links included).

   Frequently Asked Questions

   12. What is the relationship between aluminum and the
        development of Alzheimer's disease?

        One of the most publicized and controversial hypotheses in
        the area of Alzheimer's disease research concerns aluminum,
        which became a suspect in Alzheimer's disease when
        researchers found traces of this metal in the brains of
        people with Alzheimer's disease. Many studies since then have
        failed to provide consistent or conclusive evidence of a role
        for aluminum in Alzheimer's disease.

   Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum
           pots and pans can lead to Alzheimers disease.

   Reality: Based on current research, getting rid of aluminum
            cans, pots, and pans will not protect you from Alzheimers
            disease. The exact role (if any) of aluminum in Alzheimers
            disease is still being researched and debated. However,
            most researchers believe that not enough evidence exists to

            consider aluminum a risk factor for Alzheimers or a cause
            of dementia.
