Yay! Good to know, in case I ever start wearing deodorant again!
LTK:
It's not all deodorant that tends to carry aluminum, it's antiperspirant. Wikipedia tells me that the relevant compound has only been weakly associated with Alzheimer's disease. Strangely, they provide no further mention of its neurotoxicity, although it is explained in the article on Antiperspirant.
Interestingly, they mention that armpit hair plays a role in preventing body odour, because sweat trickles down the hairs instead of remaining on the skin, and it's harder for bacteria to grow on hair than on skin.
So, uh, random thoughts? Nametags are useful. Why doesn't everyone wear nametags, all the time?
Zingoleb:
I would have to fill that nametag up until it was impossible to read much of anything.
LTK:
No reason you can't have multiple nametags. Put one on your back with the name you provide for people you don't like.

Nevertheless, everyone I know got rid of all their aluminum cookwear... you still see some at yard sales and the like, no one seems to want it.
The only aluminum pan we still use is teflon-lined. I gather there's some debate about the health effects of that, as well...
