Findings from a study of over 7000 middle-age men suggest milk consumption could raise the risk of Parkinson’s disease, although the risk is small.


After tracking 7504 men for thirty years, researchers in the US identified a two fold “excess” of Parkinson’s Disease in those men with the highest intake, more than 16oz a day, compared to those who consumed no milk. While the scientists are unclear as to which ingredient or compound could influence the onset of this degenerative disease, they suggest it is not calcium. “Whether observed effects are mediated through nutrients other than calcium or through neurotoxic contaminants warrants further study,” they report in the April issue of Neurology.
