Re: Aluminum as a causal factor of Alzheimer's - Introduction of myself to the community

Thanks, Laurie & Tincup! I would be interested in how long (&/or significant) the impact of the acid citrate dextrose might be on aluminum absorption(?) Any sense of that, Laurie? And I'm interested in the paper you referenced also, Tincup. With so many contra-indicated issues to juggle at ...

Re: Aluminum Tools in the Kitchen

Thank you! This is fantastic information - I'm glad to know it's heat and acidity that are key factors. So... I'm guessing that scooping lemon sorbet is an issue?

Re: Aluminum Tools in the Kitchen

Hello! In an online forum about cooking someone mentioned that they do not use aluminum at all in the kitchen, because of studies showing it's relationship to Alzheimer's.

Re: What Are Your Current Prevention Strategies?

How do you make your own silica water? My husband is not crazy about the waste and paying for water when we have a giant dispenser. I want to thank CangelS for providing the links to you for making your own silica water, Silicade. My husband Dennis N. Crouse who is a chemist developed the recipe. I...
