Someone told me that they saw a program on 20/20 in the recent months
stating that drinking soda from cans is correlated with Alzheimer's. I
didn't see the program myself.
It may be possible to order a transcript of the program by calling 411 for
their studio number or try searching for their webpage on the internet.
