Yes, aluminium has been linked to Alzheimer like symptoms - there was an accident, years ago, in Devon I think, where a delivery to a local water treatment plant went terribly wrong and high concentrations of aluminium were put into the outgoing water.

A woman affected by the water died only recently after a long illness, and high concentrations of aluminium were found in her brain.

Apparently drinking Volvic mineral water will remove aluminium from the body as it contains silicates. There is something significant about aluminium silicate but as it is but two minutes to midnight my little grey cells are not up to revealing what that might be. I think they might already be tucked up and asleep leaving me on automatic pilot.

Time for bed.

I only ever put the alcohol I made at school in glass containers. It was as close to pure ethanol as I could make it, for experiments in the chemistry lab. I was never tempted to drink it - something to do with the poison lable I think.
