Actaully there has been no causal relationship established. When one figures that the earths crust has a high percentage of aluminum, the small amount from aluminum cookware should be trivial. Brains with Alzheimers have an elevated level of aluminum but the reason for that is still unknown. It could be that the high aluminum content is a symptom instead of the cause, similar to a fever being the symptom of being sick, but not the cause. It could be that the disease causes a breakdown of the blood brain barrier so it lets toxic metals into the brain. At this point I know of know research that definitively tells us what the real cause is. Many researchers now think it may be a prion, but still not sure.
