Drinking Milk
May Raise Parkinson's Risk in Men
(NY. Reuters Health, 4/6/05)
Dr. R. D. Abbott of the University of Virginia Health
System in Charlottesville, and team, analyzed data collected
from 7504 older male participants in the Honolulu Heart
Program, which began in the late 1960s and tracked subjects
for 30 years. Based on dietary information that had been
recorded at the outset, the investigators determined that
middle-aged men with the highest daily intake of milk were
more likely to develop Parkinson's disease over time than
their peers. These findings suggest that some constituent, or
possibly a contaminant, of milk may trigger the disease.
