Parkinsons and the environment

[tom]

This is yet another reason to go organic:

In the 1980s, researchers discovered
that MPTP, a contaminant found in
synthetic heroin, caused severe
Parkinson-like symptoms in drug
addicts who injected it intravenously.
As a result, Parkinson’s researchers
turned their attention to toxins in the
environment. These studies found
increased Parkinson’s associated
with pesticide use, consumption of
well water, exposure to herbicides,
and proximity to industrial plants,
printing facilities, and quarries.
