VillageGirl said, "...Its an unstable alloy."
What do those words mean when you use them that way? Do you know or are you just trying to sound as though you have a clue?
If so, it isn't working.
First indisputable link between aluminum and alzheimer's

EoM, I read your citation, and I wonder if you read it.
The final two sentences were telling: "No significant changes in the concentrations of magnesium were noted, regardless of the brain structure or group. It can thus be concluded that exposure to fluorine, aluminum or both has little effect on the concentration of magnesium in the CNS of rats."
Your grand theory is in your hat.

Aluminium is unstable? I am not sure what that means.

The thread title is misleading for the reasons others have mentioned.
Before anyone suggests Golden Age had it right way before science did, this man's exposure was not similar to cooking with aluminum pans.

Now that is scientific illiteracy.

Sigh.
Aluminium is the most abundant metal on Earth. It is everywhere.
Animals and plants have had a long evolutionary association with this element. It's very ubiquity means that life has had a great deal of time to get 'used' to the presence of Al.
It is the rarer metals that are toxic to life. Cadmium, chromium and mercury are all very toxic to life, for example. That is because the relative rarity of these metals means that they are encountered very infrequently and life (animals and plants) has not learned how live in their presence.

They are talking about the relative reactivity of aluminium with things such as acids, oxygen and water. Aluminium doesn't react too much with water but it does react with acid and oxygen. It doesn't rust but it will oxidise, which is the white powder you get on aluminium.

As noted in the article however this case involved breathing in dust and presumably ceramic fibres of a particular type of aluminium. Using an aluminium saucepan is not the same thing in any way as anyone who knows how to spell metallurgist will tell you.

I've just put on a pot of boiling gallium in my aluminium saucepan over an open flame in an enclosed room with no ventilation. Was that wrong, should I not have done that?
(I do own some gallium...)

By the time you get to the boiling point of gallium your aluminium saucepan will have formed a nice puddle!

I know, but suspension of disbelief and all... it works in the movies!
