The Alzheimer's organization needs to update their website! Myth 4 is not accurate!
"Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum
pots and pans can lead to Alzheimer’s disease.
Reality: During
the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer’s.
This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminum through everyday
sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants.
Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing
Alzheimer’s. Experts today focus on other areas of research, and few believe
that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat."

Reality:
- “Overall, the evidence indicates that Alzheimer’s disease is a human form of chronic aluminum neurotoxicity.” J.R. Walton, Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales, St George Hospital, Sydney, Australia[12]
- “…studies suggest that aluminum
may not be as innocuous as was previously thought and that aluminum may
actively promote the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.” Stephen
Bondy, Environmental Toxicology Program, Center for Occupational and
Environmental Health, Department of Medicine, University of California,
Irvine, CA[16]
- “The hypothesis that
aluminum significantly contributes to Alzheimer’s disease is built upon
very solid experimental evidence and should not be dismissed. Immediate
steps should be taken to lessen human exposure to aluminum…” Lucija
Tomljenovic, PhD., University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada[14]
- “There is growing evidence for
a link between aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease… it is widely accepted
that aluminum is a recognized neurotoxin, and that it could cause
cognitive deficiency and dementia…” Masahiro Kawahara, Department
of Analytical Chemistry, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kyushu
University of Health and Welfare, Japan[10]
- “As scientific publications
continue to support the hypothesis that aluminum toxicity is involved in
Alzheimer’s disease, it would be prudent to adopt strategies for
preventing excessive aluminum exposures…” Maire Percy, PhD,
University of Toronto, Canada.[18]
