antioxidants and Parkinson's disease

[Guest guest]

Previous research has implicated oxidative damage (cell degradation) in the

development of Parkinson's disease. Because vitamins E, C and carotenoids

are antioxidants, researchers recently studied the associations between

their intake and risk of Parkinson's disease.

I like their emphasize : Their conclusions point not to supplements, but to

dietary intake of vitamin E (from the foods we eat) as having a protective

factor in the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. (Neurology,
