However, it should be noted that aluminum is a very abundant and widely distributed element and will be found in most rocks, soils, waters, air, and foods. You will always have some exposure to low levels of aluminum from eating food, drinking water, and breathing air. Sure it's abundant. But, it is so tightly chemically bound in nature that it is not generally bio-assimilated.
However, when it is refined in its pure state by a very unnatural method, it exists in a very unstable form that can dissolve into food and drink when there is a sight acid or alkaline condition.
Case in point, put some tomato sauce in aluminum foil and watch what happens.
Bear in mind, aluminum was not used with food and drink products until after WWII. I believe that my grandmother died of Alzheimer's. She had all the symptoms. They just didn't have a name for it. She drank coffee, an acidic solution, from an aluminum coffee pot for as long as I can remember.

Yes, and once it has happened it is "so tightly chemically bound in nature that is is not benerally bio-assimilated".

Timely posting. I am making an appointment to find out if my mom is experiencing early Alzheimer’s. Her dad had advanced stages in his 70s. I will be working on this all week, I detest going to the doctor’s office unarmed.

Do as you please (at your own risk).
I have a backgound in chemistry and know a PhD. professor of geochemistry who has come to the same conclusion as I have.

Seriously, I thought the Al->Alzheimer's link had been discredited. The amyloid plaques just seem to trap metals, I thought; the plaques are the real problem. It has not been discredited. It's just no one wants to endure the wrath of the milti-billion dollar aluminum industry by declaring it as the cause.
All victims have aluminum deposits in their brains. If amyloid plaques trap metals, why is it that only aluminum is trapped? What about iron? The body is loaded with it.

I had read that the only definitive way to diagnose Alzheimers is on autopsy of the brain, so why are they diagnosing it so much?
The docs said my dad had Alzheimers, but, in fact, he had a horrible stroke and then suffered major neurological deficits which continued til his death. My mother-in-law is said to have Alzheimers but, others have said it is simply dementia.
There is a good book out now by a physician saying that Alzheimers is turning into a big money making endeavor.

"There is circumstantial evidence linking this metal with Alzheimer's disease but no causal relationship has yet been proved. As evidence for other causes continues to grow, a possible link with aluminium seems increasingly unlikely."

I like to think that it woulld not take a warning lable on a pack of ciggarettes in the 1960’s before I concluded that smoking was unhealthy.
Everyone has to come to their own conclusion.
Oh well, it looks like there's going to be a lot of unnecessary suffering before this country acknowledges that using aluminum with food products makes about as much sense as using lead.

As far as anecdotal things go, my parents are both in their upper 80's, have eaten food prepared in aluminum pans since the late 1940's at least, and are extremely acute mentally. My mom recently had neurological testing done for Meniere's disease and the neurologist said she had the mind of a much younger woman. Of course, we all know that when our parents kick our butts playing Boggle. And my dad's still preparing sermons and doing memorial services for the much younger population at the retirement village chapel he pastored for 17 years after he officially retired.

There are quite a few people who think mercury is the culprit. Mercury is one of the most toxic substances known, a neurotoxin. It’s far more toxic even than lead, and both are far more toxic than aluminum. The largest single source of mercury exposure is dental amalgam fillings, which are a whopping 50% mercury.

That’s wonderful. I wish you the best.
