Aluminum Foil Causes Alzheimer's?

[monsta]

I read somehwere that using regular household aluminum foil for covering your bowls causes alzheimer's disease in the future. I guess the foil gives off some sort chemical or something. The site said always use aluminum foil made for hookahs.(like the pre cut ones) I forgot where i saw this article but i was wondering what you all think.

I think monsta should use search...

no, it doesnt cause alzheimers. aluminum would habe to melt, then vaporize, then make it throught the stem, water, and hose before you breath it in through your lungs!

Yup, it is very difficult for Aluminum to be absorbed in the body without ingesting or vaporizing it. I used to trip over this all the time. Anyways, I think you kill more brain cells holding in massive hits than from Aluminum itself.

yerp, even just like a week ago. the conclusion was the melting point was too high and the coal heat too low for the alum to cause any harm.

use search Edited August 7, 2007 by SafeSearchOff

Monsta.

I am normally the last person to come out with the 'use the search' answer.

But this has been done, about once every 3 weeks, to death.

Bottom line - foil is probably safe. You cook with it at high temperature, using it as
a barrier betwixt foil & tobacco should not create many problems.

Good luck!

In many countries, outside the US, they use aluminum salts for water purification and those people that drink that water have 20-30X the amount of aluminum in their bodies as we do...and they don't get Alzheimer's any more than anyone else.
