Parkinson's Disease Has Genetic and Environmental Causes -- Herbicide/Pesticide Exposure is One of Them
Submitted by Steve Ross on Wed, 08/30/2006 - 11:42pm.
According to the Mayo Clinic, Parkinson's disease may result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Certain drugs, diseases and toxins also may cause symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease.

What Does It Mean When Medical Experts Say "Race" Is A Risk Factor For Certain Diseases?
Submitted by Steve Ross on Mon, 07/30/2007 - 6:06pm.
Editor's Note:
"Race" is sometimes mentioned as a risk factor in the development of certain cancers and a number of other diseases. When you read this in a discussion about an illness, note that the explanation seldom refers to anything biological. Instead, it usually refers to behavior, such as eating habits. The kinds of behavior usually mentioned as risk factors are culturally determined. They are not genetic or biological.

The Parkinson's/Pesticide Link -- More Evidence Surfaces
Submitted by Steve Ross on Tue, 07/11/2006 - 4:14pm.
A new Harvard study finds that people with long-term, low-level exposure to pesticides have a 70% higher incidence of Parkinson's disease than people who have not had much exposure to bug sprays.
Such workers include mostly farmers, ranchers and fishermen, but can include anyone. For example, someone like a teacher who works in a building or a particular room in that building that is regularly sprayed with insecticide, is at equally high risk.
