Aluminium and Alzheimer's disease
David Harris was key in the Aluminium Federation's responses to claims that aluminium in food and water was linked to Alzheimer's disease. In 1989 he authored a statement from the federation, denying the Lancet's claims, and asserting that aluminium is natural and never present in food or water in large enough quantities to be toxic.[2]
