Aluminum-Alzheimer’s Link

I was told that aluminum is now linked with dementia, specifically Alzheimer's disease. Have you heard about this?

Although I know of no studies that identify aluminum as the major cause of Alzheimer’s disease, aluminum has now been identified as a contributing factor in all forms of Alzheimer’s. (That may be true for other dementias as well, although the studies I know about relate to Alzheimer’s disease.) Aluminum is toxic to the brain and is said to increase the progression of the disease in people who already have Alzheimer’s. Reportedly, elevated levels of aluminum can contribute to the early onset of Alzheimer’s, especially when there is a history of major exposure to aluminum—as in those who worked in factories that produced aluminum products. More tomorrow.
