i heard that aluminum causes Alzheimers and i was wondering if there is any aluminum in tin.
Tin is an element, so there isn't anything else in tin. However, tin, the element, isn't really used for much as *just* tin. Tin foil is really a mixture of tin and aluminimum, tin cans aren't pure tin. As elements go, tin is pretty rare. As for the Alzheimers, they don't really know what the correlation is; but they have found large accumulations of metals, not only aluminum, but it doesn't show that causes it. The expression ad hoc, ergo, procter hoc means, before, therefore it caused it. What I mean here is that just because they have found accumulations of aluminum in the brains of Alzheimer's, it doesn't mean it caused it any more than the fact that I did laundry this morning, caused me to spill my coffee on my husband. (both true). Just becasue they happened in that order doesn't mean A caused B. It could mean that whatever causes alzheimers could also mean that the brains of people suspectible to it have a greater ability to accumulate metals crossing the blood-brain barrier. We just don't know enough. I get porcelian caps on my teeth because they thought silver amalgam fillings was causing dementia. Hope I helped~
It would be wrong to state that aluminum causes Alzheimer's. What has been found is an accumulation of aluminum in the brains of people who have died of Alzheimer's. So aluminum is implicated, but not proved to be a cause. It's for this reason that I gave up using deodorants 25 years ago, because they used aluminum hydroxide.
no, tin is tin it's one of the periodic elements.
No Aluminium (Al) is an element with atomic number 13. Tin (Sn) is another element with atomic number 50
