$20 million to study Parkinson's/heavy metals

[Guest guest]

Well it looks like they're finally on the right track here's an exert

from Health - Reuters Studies to Look at Chemicals, Parkinson's. The

federal government said on Monday it was giving $20 million to three

research centers to try to find out if chemicals or other

environmental factors cause Parkinson's disease.

Here's the really interesting part:

" The NIEHS, one of the National Institutes of Health said it was

funding the Parkinson's Institute in Sunnyvale, California, to examine

risks associated with pesticides and heavy metals, the possibility

that tobacco and caffeine may protect against Parkinson's, and genetic

susceptibility to the disease. "

Wonder how long before they drop the " and heavy metals " part of the

study from pressure by the ADA and blame it on " genetic susceptibility " ?
