All three of these studies are related to Aluminium leaching into food from cookware or take up from soil. Sorry, I should have been more specific.
Wikipedia cites that there has been no conclusion on Aluminium causing Alzheimer's, just that it's more prevalent as deposits in patients' brains affected by Alzheimer's. So it's an effect there.
One of your linked papers establishes the following in the Introduction: The toxicity of Aluminium is well known among patients with renal failure. Now I didn't follow the cited papers to establish the "well known" claim of this, however someone with renal failure will likely have other worries besides just Aluminium toxicity.
I'm just trying to be thorough because I've heard claims pro and contra Aluminium toxicity and dementia. Around mid 2010s I got into a scare of replacing every Aluminium and fluoropolymer coated cookware with iron, ceramic and glass, especially since my grandpa died from some form of degenerative dementia just five years prior. Now it looks like my concerns regarding Teflon and it's little family were justified, however evidence against Aluminium seems to be sparse.
Admittedly I am not familiar with the specific health effects of aluminum compounds beyond the basic fact that they are neurotoxic and not good for us, but plenty of things are neurotoxic and bad for us and I admittedly don't really know the extent that aluminum is a problem (nor am I claiming it causes any specific health effects, to be clear). I've personally researched more into the leaching aspect than the neurotoxicity aspect, if for nothing else than I find those interactions between materials interesting, and personally it's more than enough to put me off using them, considering our track record of massively underestimating harm from things similar to this, but that's entirely just my own opinion for what kind of cookware I'm willing to use. I do appreciate you trying to be thorough and I wish I had more relevant links at hand.
