Re: Will Lead Exposure In Youth Lead To Alzheimer's In Old Age?

Has it ever been studied whether the toothpaste which pre WW11 was sold in LEAD tubes might have contributed to the increased Alzheimer's noted presently.
The path of introduction to bloodstream is pretty direct, mouth-gums absorbtion. And anyone who used tube toothpaste prior to about 1942 was most likely exposed. That would include anyone over about 69 years old.
Could that signal a decrease in Alzheimer's when the "Greatest Generation" has passed, or were their genes manipulated so the tendency was passed on to future generations?
Just got that connection made in my mind.
