Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Is aluminum concentration in the body from things like deodorants, antacids, soft drink containers, etc. a real concern in the development of Alzheimer's disease? Also, is Alzheimer's just a modern name for senile dementia which has been a senior issue for some time now? Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi Jean: Many think so. However, my question would be: If aluminum is the sole contributor, why then do people who learn new languages or embrace other new creative pursuits seem to avoid the disease entirely? Nevertheless, it only makes sense to avoid those sources you mention, since more aluminum is measured in the brains of Alzheimer's disease victims. It even makes more sense to avoid them, given that the sources you list result in a less healthy body in any case. I have another related question: Do those who venture into the Alpha State thru deep meditation or contemplation on a daily basis get Alzheimer's disease at all? I would think not, but have never read any studies on the subject.

I agree that keeping the brain active, being creative, thinking outside the box, avoiding getting into a routine/rut, gettin in touch with yourself, can all help avoid the disease. I've worked in a soft drink production plant for 30 years now, and since I heard about aluminum related to Alzheimer's, I must say at first I started to joke about it, and now it's kind of in the back of my mind. At times I work around empty aluminum cans, removed from a pallet layer by layer, 21 layers and 8,169 cans, around 80 pallets a day. With these obviously come some dust. I feel great, no problems so far, and am not concerned enough to get a bood test taken or anything. I don't drink the stuff, only sodium free seltzer water passes my lips as far as soft drinks are concerned. Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Jean: I am not sure about the aluminum question, but I can guarantee that all soft drinks are a bad idea. I only wish that I had had enough foresight as a child to realize that I could grow this old. I have all of my teeth, but they could be in a lot better shape if I had. Add the fact that sodas are acidic and have no life sustaining qualities and you have to ask... why do otherwise perfectly sane people drink them?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Okay, here is my take on Aluminum and Alzheimers: Aluminum toxicity can look a lot like Alzheimers, but is not the same. No tangles in aluminum toxic brains. As I understand it the staining studies are unreliable, the mass spectrometer studies showed no linkage between Alzheimers and increased aluminum. Reasonable people can differ. My opinion: Alzheimers is Type 3 diabetes.
