I won't drink from
aluminum cans, I won't use a an antacid with aluminates. Is it
paranoid?

Undoubtedly it is paranoid. But take courage, you might feel a great
deal relieved if you were to study the contents of the url
www.alzheimers.org.uk in detail. In brief, the line there is that
there is NO known causal link between Aluminium and Alzheimers, and
that it is looking ever more likely that Aluminium is of minor or no
importance in the development of dementia.

There is circumstantial evidence linking this metal with Alzheimer's
disease but no causal relationship has yet been proved. As evidence for
other causes continues to grow, a possible link with aluminium seems
increasingly unlikely.

later ...

Researchers believe that, in the majority of those affected, Alzheimer's
disease results from a combination of different risk factors rather than a
single cause.

So they've said Alzheimer's results from a combination of risk factors
after offering proof by probability that aluminum is not one of the causes.

Still later:
The overwhelming medical and scientific opinion is that the findings
outlined above do not convincingly demonstrate a causal relationship
between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease, and that no useful medical or
public health recommendations can be made, at least at present.

"no useful medical or public health recommendations can be made" - not for
and not against

It has proved extremely difficult to devise studies which could resolve
this problem one way or another.

Woe to you if you've been chowing on aluminum and carry the hypothetical
Aluminum-nut-job gene. The rest of you move along, nothing to see here.
