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.
