        Need some sources on these claims. My dive on Wikipedia didn’t reveal anything akin.

            All three of these studies are related to Aluminium leaching into food from cookware or take up from soil. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

            Wikipedia cites that there has been no conclusion on Aluminium causing Alzheimer’s, just that it’s more prevalent as deposits in patients’ brains affected by Alzheimer’s. So it’s an effect there.

            One of your linked papers establishes the following in the Introduction: The toxicity of Aluminium is well known among patients with renal failure. Now I didn’t follow the cited papers to establish the “well known” claim of this, however someone with renal failure will likely have other worries besides just Aluminium toxicity.

            I’m just trying to be thorough because I’ve heard claims pro and contra Aluminium toxicity and dementia. Around mid 2010s I got into a scare of replacing every Aluminium and fluoropolymer coated cookware with iron, ceramic and glass, especially since my grandpa died from some form of degenerative dementia just five years prior. Now it looks like my concerns regarding Teflon and it’s little family were justified, however evidence against Aluminium seems to be sparse.

        Steel cans sometimes are. Depends on the food. Tomatoes are usually in copper-coated cans(orange), pineapple in tin-coated cans(matte grey), but there are chrome coatings(yellow) white enamel, and plastic. Look at the inside of the can. Heating the can will reveal if it’s a metal coating or plastic.
