| | Does Exposure to Aluminum Cause Alzheimer's Disease |
 | | Cecil replies: I first wrote about aluminum as a possible cause of Alzheimer's disease in 1983, and here it is all these years later and they're still not sure. |
 | | 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). |
 | | While there have been suggestions that aluminum cookware might pose a risk for Alzheimer's, the type of aluminum used in pots and pans consists of multiple molecules and does not appear to affect human cells, according to Prolo. |
