It states no existence of a potential link between using aluminium cookware and Alzheimer's, further stating "a provisional tolerable weekly intake of ,,, 1.0mg/kg body weight".
If we take an aluminium pot weighing 150g (I based this on aluminium mess tins on Amazon:
amazon.co.uk/dp/B005FW6IZE )
150g of aluminium = 150,000mg of alumnium
For a 70kg person that means 2143 weeks, or just over 41 years, worth of use for all of that aluminium to degrade and enter your system for it to be dangerous according to a 1mg/kg/week.
Now, my nan has some oft-used aluminium pots in her kitchen that are about my age. I'm 21. Now those might weigh a bit more than those mess tins, but if it weighs twice as much then I should be worries about aluminium toxicity if a quarter of that pot has disappeared. I'm not gonna lie, it looks scratched up and shit but there's no way that this has 25% less aluminium than the day my nan bought it.
It's not enough to say that there's a possible link between aluminium and Alzheimer's (not even a link with enough evidence to be considered conclusive), you've also got to show that using aluminium cookware puts you at high enough exposure to be dangerous.
I appreciate that you yourself didn't make the claim that using aluminium cookware is necessarily dangerous, this is aimed at anybody who might read this.
