People with long-term, low-level exposure to pesticides have a 70 percent higher incidence of Parkinson's disease than people who have not been exposed much to bug sprays, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.

Their study supports previous research that suggests pesticides can be linked with Parkinson's, which is caused by the destruction of key brain cells, the team at the Harvard School of Public Health said.

Exposure to asbestos, chemicals, acids, solvents, or coal or stone dust was not associated with a higher risk, the researchers said.

There is no cure for Parkinson's, which starts off with tremors and ends up paralyzing and often killing patients. Globally, it is estimated 6.3 million people have Parkinson's, more than a million in the United States alone.

and pesticides are found in every drop of water in america - lakes, creeks, rivers, swamps, etc.

frogs are disappearing or found with anomalies, fish in the Potomac have sexual anomalies, etc., etc.

I wish america's pediatricians would fess up to what they have been delivering in maternity wards.

america is probably the most polluted country in the world. people think of India or China as being the worse, if truth be known it's america.

1. Pesticides have become

another RW rallying cry. They refuse to believe these products are dangerous - it is Go'd will.
Meanwhile the next generation has been robbed of their potential. You are right about the doctors should fess up - but with them it is hear no evil, see no evil.

Fanatic yard nuts should probably be added to the list.
