  The Straight Dope: Does exposure to aluminum cause Alzheimer's disease?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Aluminum is suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer's disease, a form of degenerative senile dementia thought to afflict 5-10 percent of all persons over 65.
Aluminum is known to be a neurotoxin that can cause brain damage if you're exposed to it in sufficiently large amounts.
Aluminum is also found in household baking powder, self-rising flour, cake mix, pancake batter, and frozen dough (as sodium aluminum phosphate, a leavening agent); in nondairy creamers, table salt, and other powdered foods (as an anticaking ingredient); in processed cheese (as an emulsifier); and in hemorrhoid preparations (up to 50 percent aluminum hydroxide).

 Enhanced efficacy aluminum chlorhydrate antiperspirant and method of making same - Patent 5234677
Aluminum chlorhydrates (also referred to as aluminum chlorhydroxides or basic aluminum chlorides) have been known and used for many years as effective antiperspirants, and still constitute the essential active ingredient in many antiperspirants today.
Particularly preferred aluminum chlorhydrates are those in which x is in the range of about 1 to 2, and preferably about 1, the latter being referred to as five-sixths basic aluminum chloride.
Although the enhanced activity basic aluminum chlorides of the present invention may be used in any of the conventional forms of antiperspirant formulations, including inter alia a diluted aqueous solution, it is generally preferred to dry the basic aluminum chloride solution to a solid for purposes of shipping, storing and further handling.

 Allergy and deodorant - cause and effect
The connection between allergy and deodorant may be due to the fact that mass marketed antiperspirants typically use some form of aluminum as their active ingredient to stop the process of sweating.
In considering allergy and deodorant use, the main suspect is aluminium, commonly used in anti-perspirants in the form of salts such as aluminium chloride and aluminium chlorohydrate, which work by blocking pores and sweat glands, thereby preventing the vital and natural function of perspiration.
There are fears that synthetic aluminum chemicals such as aluminum chlorhydrate and aluminum zicarnium have contributed to the rising incidence not only of allergy and deodorant, but also of breast cancer in women.

Very soluble aluminum compounds, such as aluminum chlorhydrate or aluminum zirconium, are commonly used in antiperspirant and readily absorbed.
Once in the body, the aluminum portion of the molecule ionizes, forming free or radical aluminum (Al+++).
This passes freely across cell membranes, and forms a physical plug, that when dissolved is selectively absorbed by the liver, kidney, brain, cartilage and bone marrow.
