As a former neuropsychologist who specialized in dementia, I can't
let this go by any longer. As I understand it, the aluminum theory
of Alzheimer's Disease has been pretty well discredited by current
neuroscience. Yes, there are some findings of increased
aluminum in the brain at autopsy, but as far as anyone can tell,
there is no relationship between that finding and exposure to
aluminum in daily life. Of course, there are always new studies
and changing interpretations, but on the whole, I think you can
relax about your deodorant or your soda can (or your pottery coffee
mug) making you demented. Which is not to say that aluminum
may not have other noxious effects, just to say that Alzheimer's
Disease is probably not one of them.
