When it really comes down to it, the Alzheimers-aluminum connection was
studied in people who were aluminum miners - people with extreme daily
exposure to the metal.  No study ever drew a connection between cookware
or deodorant and the disease.  So, I wouldn't worry in any case.  It's
just a good excuse for being forgetful sometimes ;)
