Thanks for the ping.

I would assume these things:

1. Watching hours and hours of TV a day is harmful for the brain.

2. Ditto for other forms of mindless “entertainment”.

3. Activities which promote thinking in all its forms is beneficial for the brain.

and last but not least:

4. Experimenting with laboratory animals is cruel and useless. I could have told them everything they figured out (besides drugs) without torturing mice. After genetically engineering them, whatever the hell that is.

Actually, exposure to aluminum, through cookware or cans, is believed to be a major cause. What you cite could also be a factor.
