I recalled incorrectly that it was a large article; it's really just a quick question in a sort of question&answer page filler section: Q: I have heard that Alzheimer's disease may be linked to accumulation of aluminum in the brain. Does this mean that I should get rid of my aluminum cookware? A: Some people believe that aluminum has something to do with the development of Alzheimer's disease because high aluminum levels have been found in the brains of some Alzheimer's victims. Just how aluminum may get into the brain remains an unknown, but rest assured that there is no sound evidence showing that foods cooked in aluminum pans can cause abnormally high levels of the metal in the brain. -- Rt.
