Hi Nancy:
I am fairly sure this is a myth. I don't have a reference handy but I
believe it began as an investigation someplace in the midwest where
there seemed to be a relatively high rate of Alzheimer's correlated with
a relatively high amount of ground aluminum in the drinking water, hence
the illusory correlation was investigatedl and later found not to be a 
causal factor.
