Alzheimer's

[Rosemarie]

Odd that you mentioned aluminum cookware Holly. Some years ago anti-perspirents (not deodorants) were suspected of contributing to Alzheimer's because they contain aluminum. Don't know if they still do.

Yes, this is something which is not publicised enough. There seems to be an increase in breast cancer and the thinking is that aluminium in anti-perspirants may be a contributing factor. It also seems to be linked to senility. Eating oats is supposed to help flush aluminium out of the body, but I don't know if it's true.
