I would suggest that , on the tortilla baked on balls of aluminum foil , that you instead use overturned 1/2 cup baking crocks . As for other recipes, utilize your imagination first.

There is no link between aluminum (cookware or antiperspirant) and alzheimers. I've done the research. If you are concerned about Alz- you're best bet is to eat foods high in anti-oxidants (including omega-3 fatty acids), get regular excerise (physical and mental) and if you enjoy coffee- drinking 1-3 (6oz) cups per day, may reduce your risk.

I work in the medical field and cook often and have NEVER heard of such a thing.

From the Alzheimer's Association:
"The exact role (if any) of aluminum in Alzheimer's disease is still being researched and debated. However, most researchers believe that not enough evidence exists to consider aluminum a risk factor for Alzheimer's or a cause of dementia."
"It's a myth that just won't seem to go away. Every few months, it resurfaces and alarms hyperhidrosis sufferers and "normal" sweaters alike – can the aluminum salts in antiperspirants lead to Alzheimer's disease? Many of you have asked us this question recently so we tracked down answers from experts in the field.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's disease (which is characterized by the progressive breakdown of a person's mental abilities) has no known single cause. The rumor that aluminum may cause Alzheimer's can be linked back to a study done in the 1960s which found abnormally high concentrations of aluminum in the brains of some victims of Alzheimer's disease. However, "After several decades of research," reports the Alzheimer's Association, "scientists have been unable to replicate the original 1960s studies showing aluminum deposits in a brain affected by Alzheimer's."
In a letter written to USA Today this past February, the Alzheimer's Association goes on to state: "The link between aluminum and Alzheimer's disease has never been conclusively proven... The research community is generally convinced that aluminum is not a key risk factor in developing Alzheimer's disease. Public health bodies sharing this conviction include the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Health Canada."

I noticed several recipes in the last issue of Kraft Foods that included cooking with aluminum foil. As a Home Economist, wellness consultant and former Home Ec teacher I see the need to incorporate new information for health living. Based of scientific research that links aluminum with alzheimer's disease I feel it is the responsibility of media to suggest alternatives to traditional practices.
I suggest lining pans with parchment paper or greasing with olive oil. Also use glass, ceramic or stainless steel cookware when available.
I realize occasional use of aluminum has no immediate affect on health. But if all alzheimer's patients have higher aluminum content in their blood and aluminum leaches into foods when exposed to oxygen then I'd want an alternative.
