There is scant scientific evidence that confirms aluminum as a cause of Alzheimer’s disease. It is one of many speculations that claims to cause Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have not been able to find a cure of Alzheimer’s disease because the underlying mechanism is not clear yet.
But aluminum has been linked with Alzheimer’s disease for the past few decades. It may have arisen from the fact that aluminum is toxic for human health. Research has shown that high levels of aluminum contribute to the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease. However, consuming aluminum in large amounts induces dementia.
A lot of research has been done to confirm if drinking water causes Alzheimer’s disease. Although studies have confirmed the presence of aluminum in the drinking water, there is evidence that suggests the drinking water has other nutrients that counteracts the negative impact of aluminum within the body.
Research has shown that aluminum intricately contributes to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in people who already have it. Although aluminum is known to increase various neurological diseases, there is no scientific evidence that supports aluminum as the major cause of Alzheimer’s disease among people. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanism behind the effect of aluminum on the initiation of Alzheimer’s disease among people of all age groups.
Because we do not have enough proof about how aluminum affects people, many inaccurate claims are being said about it on social media. People are sharing a lot of incorrect information about how aluminum gets into our environment. We are not only seeing false claims about how it affects people but also how it affects insects. We checked, and it turns out that the stories about honeybees being exposed to 800% more aluminum in 2022 are not true.
