A member asked:
Please explain if it is true that absorption of aluminum is directly linked to degenerative dementia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most Likely Not: This suspicion has existed at least since the 1950s. However, multiple epidemiological studies and scientific reviews of multiple such studies have failed to find evidence of link between usual sources of aluminum exposure and dementia. In short, current evidence says - probably no link in case of usual exposure in average person's life.
