[Since a net.med reader asked me to, I'm posting this to both groups...]

Here's the blurb I saw in the _Tufts_University_Diet_&_Nutrition_Letter_,
vol. 3 no. 5 (July 85).  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.
