Journal Article
Parkinson's: the weirdest disease
2021
Overview
[...]in the 1920s thousands of people developed the symptoms of Parkinson's disease following the epidemic of encephalitis lethargica, apparently caused by an infectious agent. [...]we know that infectious agents can cause Parkinson's disease. Everyone knows that milk is one of the most healthful foods; it says so on the ubiquitous milk cartons in school lunch programs. The risk does not appear to be related to the calcium or vitamin D in milk but may be associated with the fact that milk decreases serum urates, which are thought to be a protective factor for Parkinson's disease. Everyone now knows that smoking is bad, that the Marlboro man died from lung cancer and that smoking causes several other cancers as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease, and stroke.
