 1   onset of ALZHEIMERS Aluminum burden is a known side effect. My mother-in-law was also drinking from aluminum cans of pop, and soon complained of a strong metallic taste in her mouth. The first indication of Alzheimers was her loss of nouns, for example she soon could no longer remember what a "penny" was. F 75
