→Aluminum and Alzheimer's: I don't read those sources as scientific acceptance
While Fluoride has not been proven as a cause for Alzheimer's Disease, it sounds to me like Aluminum is a fairly definate cause. see: [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3056430] and [http://ehso.com/ehshome/alzheimers.htm]<br />

:Dear DavidB4, I respect the fact that you took the time to find these two sources, and I have now read both of them. If you read them carefully, they say that many people thought that there was a connection, but that the question is still highly debatable within the scientific community. There are just too many variables. It is a bad idea to set up two groups of humans, force one group to consume high levels of Al and completely control the Al exposure of the second group to low levels. Ethically, it would be unacceptable if the first group did get Alzheimer's and the lives of the second group would be highly disrupted in an effort to control Al exposure. So, proving the point will be difficult. When a town in Wales gets a high exposure of Al accidentally, it is impossible to tell if other pollutants were also released at the same time. So, an accidental exposure is also a difficult way to prove the Al -> Alzheimer link. Although it is an open question, my mother stopped using Aluminum pots years ago because of the unproven theory. So, if you meet me in person after I turn 85 and I impress you as mentally sharp, I will not be a data point one way or the other.
