Parkinson's Linked to Drinking Milk

From research performed at Korea University, a link has been suggested between consumption of milk and Parkinson's disease. Middle-aged men who drink a pint of milk daily had Parkinson's at more than twice the rate of men who drank no milk. The scientists believe that a contaminant and not calcium is causing the higher incidence of Parkinson's.

Next week, we'll probably hear that milk is good for the brain. Frankly, I've become somewhat jaded about health alerts. Too many turn out to be junk science.
