No one has established that aluminum is the problem. Note that in the
previous study, the affected patients had four times the normal aluminum
concentration in certain parts of their brains. Is this a problem with
aluminum or a problem with abnormal metabolism? Perhaps Alzheimer's is due
to a metabolic problem in certain people rather than Al. Since it is also
known that Alzheimer's runs in families, this in fact seems likely.

Not to say one shouldn't be careful, but it galls me to see people jumping
to conclusions that simply aren't borne out by experiment (.....yet).
