Are Copper & Aluminum Related to Alzheimer’s?

Several years ago people were alarmed that aluminum might be the cause, or at least one of the causes, of Alzheimer’s.  So they tried to discontinue using anything with aluminum.  Rabbits in the laboratory apparently developed symptoms similar to those found in humans with Alzheimer’s, according to one study.

Now some research indicates that rabbits in the laboratory using tap water containing copper developed Alzheimer’s symptoms while those drinking distilled water didn’t.

However, scientists advise caution about copper concern.  The aluminum scare proved to be just that…a scare, some claim.  Apparently one of the studies was flawed, and overreaction made people even more panicked.
