I'm gonna make a guess that it's the long debunked hypothesis that aluminum cookware and cans are linked to Alzheimers.

As it turned out, aluminum poisoning can cause dementia-like symptoms, but you can't get aluminum poisoning from cookware or cans.

Many aluminum cans have residual aluminum shavings inside and outside. The manufacturing process isn't perfect.

I've personally noticed shavings multiple times on the lip (especially with cheaper non KO/PEP products). La Croix cans are notorious for this.

Aren't most food cans made of steel, not aluminum?

Food and beverage cans are made of plastics with a metallic wrapper. Don't worry -- I'm sure it's BPA-free!
