I love English tea, and learned from my supplier that tea plants pull in a lot of aluminum from the soil. I was curious about this apropos aluminum and Alzheimer's disease. I still drink my tea, understanding that aluminum (aluminium to British types) is everywhere. Whether it gets into the brain via foodstuffs, I do not know. Whether cilantro can scavenge it from the brain, as Dr. Y. Omura claims, I do not know, but believe.
