More good news on the healthy eating front!
Diets high in vitamin E appear to cut risk of Parkinsons.
BBC NEWS | Health | Vitamin E cuts Parkinson's risk: "A study in Lancet Neurology pooled available data and found people who ate plenty of [foods rich in vitamin E] were far less likely to develop Parkinson's."
"Dr Mayhar Etminan, from Queen's University in Canada, and colleagues scrutinised eight studies published between 1966 and 2005 looking at the effects of vitamins E and C, and the nutrient beta carotene.
Both moderate and high doses of vitamin E appeared to reduce the risk of Parkinson's.
Neither vitamin C or beta carotene had a similar effect, however. "
I have a friend/co-author who's mom has a severe case of Parkinson's and trust me, NO ONE wants it! So eat your spinach and peanut butter and improve your odds.
