Is the use of aluminium cookware and utensils linked to Alzheimers disease?

Updated by SFA
Although small amounts of aluminium can migrate from aluminium food contact articles (including aluminium cookware and utensils) to food, it is safe to use aluminium food contact articles. Safety assessments conducted by the European Food Safety Authority and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives have shown that the contribution from the migration of aluminium from food contact articles represented only a small fraction of the total dietary aluminium intake. At present, there is no conclusive scientific evidence that links oral exposure to aluminium with the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
