Normal levels of aluminum exposure, including from antiperspirants or cookware, do not cause or increase the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/05/12/experts-dispute-attempt-to-link-alzheimers-aluminum-fact-check/70207832007/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21157018/ https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/does-aluminum-cause-alzheimers https://www.brightfocus.org/alzheimers/article/aluminum-and-alzheimers-there-connection https://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/controversial-claims-risk-factors https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jul/29/facebook-posts/evidence-does-not-support-link-between-alzheimers-/ https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/managing-the-risk-of-dementia/possible-risks-of-dementia/metals
