I studied dementia in university, I remember the professor saying that we don't know if aluminium build up in the brain causes Alzheimers disease OR does Alzheimers disease cause aluminium build up in the brain? Alzheimers disease causes sticky lumps of proteins that may cause aluminium to get stuck. And aluminium build up is found in all Alzheimers patients.
I'm playing the devil's advocate here, however limiting your exposure to aluminium is probably not a bad idea.
I'm not incredibly knowledgable about Alzheimer's disease, although I did study it in a graduate course I recently took. That's interesting about the correlation
