Professor Chrisopher Exley of Keele University claims that aluminium present in everyday items like cosmetics and food may be building up in the brain and causing Alzheimer's disease

Aluminium poisoning may be fuelling Alzheimer’s disease, a leading professor has claimed.

Professor Chrisopher Exley, of Keele University, said that exposure to the metal causes deposits in the human brain which can exacerbate other problems

...Aluminium, he argues, is now added to or used in almost everything we eat, drink, inject or absorb. The metal is abundant in the Earth’s crust and is naturally absorbed from the soil by plants and foodstuffs. But aluminium sulphate is also added to water to improve clarity, to cakes and biscuits as a raising agent and it is in tea, cocoa, wine and fizzy drinks

not all forms of it are the same.

just like fluoride. calcium fluoride is good,’sodium’fluoride not so good.

"“Alum” (aluminum sulfate) was used in pickles and as a component in baking powder, among other things."

I didn't know that. I remember as a child, I had a canker sore in my mouth and my mother sprinkled powdered alum on it to deaden the pain.

Theory disproved, or at least not substantiated, thirty years ago.....

All my cookware is stainless or iron. I will not ever cook with aluminum.

I hear you. Soap and water daily, sometimes twice a day in summer. I use Tom’s natural deodorant, right now the lemon scent. It’s been 30 years or more that I haven’t used antiperspirant. Eventually the stink will decrease as the toxins come out.
