I has included the following in an
earlier post:
I would also add that for years my Dad
sold stainless steel cookware for a living.
He raised six head of children cooking supper
for other people. Part of his demonstration
involved taking a piece of cookware from the
kitchen he was working in on a particular
night and boiling water in it. This cookware
was always aluminum. The heating would
open up pores in the pot and all the previously
trapped =22stuff=22 from years of use would be
released into the water. (Just as it would if a
person were cooking food in the pot).
He would pour this water into a clear drinking
glass and set it where all could see. During
the rest of the demo and supper you could see
the water begin to congeal and turn gray. He
would instruct the husband or wife to check it
in the morning and call him. He knew what they
would find, that the =22stuff=22 had etched the glass.
The point obviously being that for years we have
eaten things, bacteria, food deposits, Teflon, etc.
that erode off into our food, or secretes from the
very cookware we use. That is unless of course,
you use stainless steel. =3Cg=3E
I knew that the aluminum was not good for our
=22innards=22 but I had never heard of it being a
contributing factor to Alzheimer's. This is very
interesting indeed.

It has for years been suspected, but not yet proven, that it is a
contributor to Alzheimers. The exact causes of this disease are expected to
be from multiple causes, and so far have not been clearly determined.
