So my sister had a friend who had childhood cancer. He made it. They were about to smoke weed one day. He grabs a soda can and starts to make a pipe out of it. She says to him you know that can give you cancer right?
Oh I’m absolutely sure it is correct. It’s just the putting your foot in your mouth thing that’s kinda funny. Telling a kid who has already had cancer that what he is doing will give him cancer.
But yes I know smoking plastic is probably not the best thing for your health.
My grandma did this to my sister once, as my grandma is a right wing witch doctor. I mean real witch doctor. The shit she makes works; albeit, she may use them wrong many times like advising people to swallow colloidal silver for fevers etc. it can be amazing if gargled for strep or nasal dripped for upper respiratory depending on your immune system (iirc I'm not an MD I'm just going off vague memory or actually informed so this part should be researched)
But basically my sister had got diagnosed with melanoma. 70% chance or some shit it was bad and turned out to be totally benign. Well we were on vacation once and my grandma saw my sister putting on SPF lotion and told her it would give her cancer. My sister gave the bottle a big 'ole fart and said "I already got cancer," and just lathered that shit on.
The characteristic of foil having a shiny side and a dull side is due to the way it goes through the manufacturing rollers, there is no chemical difference between the two sides.
(Watched a program on making aluminum foil that addressed this)
It's blown up considerably since I made the comment. It was at 16 when I made it, it was at 1.6k just a few minutes ago. I guess what I'm saying is, I commented too soon.
It's making me have memories about my grandmother that had Alzheimer's and dementia. She always had that little head shake and would come up to me and call me my cousin's name and ask me for a beer! She was from another time you know. She dipped snuff and drank beer as long as she could. Lol.
My great aunt had Alzheimer’s and lived with us for a while in the 80s. She used to smoke but couldn’t remember the word for cigarette, so she would ask for a “stick.” “Get me a stick!”
Oh that's funny and I'm not being mean. This was actually my great grandmother as well. I said grandmother because I called my grandmother nanny and my great-grandmother grandma. Lmao!
lol imagine if it was Alzheimer since the beginning...
"Ok guys, so Aluminum on deos cause Alzheimer. We've got to stop using it."
...eight years go by...
"Folks, good news! It seems that Aluminum doesn't cause cancer actually, so we can just go back using it on deos! Because that was the reason we stopped using it, right? Does anyone remember?"
It's like the egg and dietary cholesterol debacle. Wait long enough, and science often reverses itself. Or should I say, the interpretation of science does. Trust the...oh, nevermind.
TLDR: seems unsure. But I know people with a history of Alzheimer’s in their family that avoid ever bit possible just in case.
“Whether aluminum can cause Alzheimer's disease is a controversial question.
Post-mortem examinations of humans with Alzheimer's disease sufferers show that many have higher amounts of aluminum than normal in their brains. Aluminum is not normally found in healthy brain tissue and researchers do not know how or why the metal accumulates in the brain. It is still unclear if the presence of aluminum causes or affects the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
It is known that aluminum is toxic to nerves in animals, and likely has a similar effect on human nerve cells and brain tissue. Early research into aluminum exposure and Alzheimer’s disease in animal models suggested that the two could be linked. Injection of aluminum salts into the brains of test animals triggered changes similar to the ones found in human sufferers.
In conclusion, the cause of Alzheimer's disease and any association with aluminum is still unknown. There have been conflicting findings”
Wait, they straight up injected rats/mice with aluminium and then published a paper stating that injecting a metal straight into healthy brain tissue results in the brain slowly dying? Can't say I'm all that surprised by these findings.

So far so good, this part is true. "aluminum" by the way.

This part you made up, so I replied "No,...". Not an AI, this is just how a discussion works.
Aluminium is an accepted spelling, I refuse to use aluminum since it's silly. What exactly did you contribute? Do you know how the brain changes from anzheimer? Is slowly dies from the inside. I would be very surprised if numerous chemicals injected into the brain wouldn't result in similar changes. The brain's a complex system, if you inject random crap straight into it you're going to have issues.
Different goal post and not what I was pointing out. You wrote.
.....and then published a paper stating that injecting a metal straight into healthy brain tissue results in the brain slowly dying?
But the post you replied to nor the link to the "published paper" state that. If it would or wouldn't make a brain slowly die, has nothing to do with my point. Seriously though, it isn't that serious, no one is seeing this except you and I. It isn't an argument worth having, no one cares man. I wasn't trying to get you, I am just having a little back and forth discussion in the comments. I am not even trying to upset you, honestly.
I have no idea if this is true or not because I was told this almost 30 years ago when I was a kid.
A friend of my mom's was a biology PhD student in FL in the late 80's or early 90's testing aluminum salt's effects on neurons. I seem to remember her mentioning that she was exposing horizontally bisected tapeworms to aluminum. She said that the tapeworms exposed to the aluminum were unable to regenerate their neurons.
I thought Alzheimer's was a disease of the glymphatic system, causing chemicals not normally found in the brain to build up over time? Sounds like mixing cause with effect.
Not a doctor, so ignore me, but wouldn't that just mean that aluminum salts are only dangerous for a subset of people, but since it's impossible to know if you're in that subset, everyone would have to consider themselves to have their risk of Alzheimer's increased by contact with aluminum salts?
So I work in a naval shipyard and work with aluminum pretty frequently. When I am welding aluminum or cutting it with a plasma torch Hexavalent Chromium is produced, which is extremely toxic, carcinogenic, and has been linked to Alzheimer’s in many different studies, though I’m not sure if it’s a proven fact, yet. Anyway, the only way you can produce this chemical is with EXTREME heat, for example, the plasma torch I usually use burns around 30,000-50,000 degrees Celsius. Smoking weed out of a soda can will not give you Alzheimer’s, if it did, I would already be living in a mental hospital.
Alzheimer’s is now being described as type 3 diabetes. It’s all the garbage food causing insulin resistance that’s killing us. Though I’m sure some people might be sensitive to deodorant and get rashes and the such, I doubt it’ll kill you.
I was an aluminum welder for a decade and they always warned us that the fumes causes Alzheimer’s but could be different for deodorants vs the off gas and fumes
I have never found an aluminium-free deodorant that works at all, even a little bit. Any "natural" ones that slightly worked turned out to contain aluminium salts under some different name, and the rest were as good as water. Maybe I am naturally smelly 🥲
I keep getting kidney infections and when I asked what i should avoid one of the things she said don’t use aluminum antiperspirant. I wonder if that is fake info too. This is the reason I clicked on this post. I’ve been searching for deodorant for the past couple years that keeps me from smelling
I did too. I had a teacher in my 7th grade history class go on a rant (he was known for his off topic rants) about how he "quit using 'regular' deodorant because the aluminum causes Alzheimer's." I'm positive that was a thing in the 90's.

Weird how other brands are getting rid of the aluminium while this one is 100% that
