Myths About Alzheimer's

"Myth 3: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum pots and pans can lead to Alzheimer鈥檚 disease.
Reality: During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer鈥檚. 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鈥檚. Experts today focus on other areas of research, and few believe that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat."

It's a myth. You can read about the myth on the Alzheimer鈥檚 Association website. Report It
