I think it is good advice to wear a face mask when grinding anything but the Alzheimer's - Aluminium link is all but a myth, there has been no conclusive study which links the two.

I have looked into it in depth as I use aluminium pots to brew beer and wanted to be sure it was safe. There was one study with rats that linked very high aluminium intake with a kind of neurofibrillary tangle but when viewed with an electron microscope were found to be different to those associated with Alzheimer's.
