Interesting observations on both your parts.
I remember when aluminum cans came in when I was a kid.
My Dad has it now and my Mom used aluminum pans I think. But she is just as old and ate from the same cans.
I’ve never shaken the feeling there may be some contributory aspect of aluminum, but there’s been no epidemiological confirmation or other confirmation.
One thing known now, or beginning to be understood, is that not all dementias are the same.
I think it’s possible aluminum may affect some people, but not others.
Just speculating.
“”Just speculating.””
Hey, that’s usually what all of us do. That and our own experiences....
I don’t believe as another post said that science is zeroing in on the cause of Alzheimer’s. I’ve heard the same said about cancer for 60 years. Forgive me but after some number of years, everyone becomes a cynic.
I have a number of school friends who are dealing with dementia with their spouses and all anyone can say is “there but for the grace of God..........” The burden is so great. My mother did suffer from it and passed away in her early 90’s. The family was fortunate to have her taken care of by my oldest sister who was lucky enough to have several of her own kids nearby to help out. Most families aren’t that fortunate. I only had one child late in life - should have had more - HA!
