A pineapple pesticide that is also found in milk has been shown to increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease in men. Study author, R. D. Abbott, Ph.D., said, “The link between dairy products and Parkinson’s disease has been found in other studies. Our study looked specifically at milk and the signs of Parkinson’s in the brain.”
The study examined 449 Japanese-American men who were followed for over 30 years until death – autopsies were performed after death. Researchers looked for lost brain cells in the substantia nigra region of the brain – a sign of Parkinson’s disease that can occur years before symptoms present themselves.
