Summary: Tufts Univ. says: No health hazard from aluminum cookware

My latest issue of the _Tufts University Diet and Nutrition Newsletter_
has an article on this very subject.  The bottom line:  although higher
than normal concentrations of aluminum have been found in the brains
of deceased Alzheimer's victims, there is no evidence that using aluminum
cookware can cause the disease.

I will try to remember to bring the article in to work and post the text.
As I'm not a net.med reader and don't know if this subject has already been
covered *ad nauseum* over there, I will only post it to net.cooks.

p.s.  Send one dollar to the SubGenius Foundation, Box 140306,
	Dallas, TX 75214 and ask for their "Recipe for New World
	Ravioli." Tell 'em Reverend Mike sent ya.  You'll be glad 
	you did.
