One more reason for organic living

A study funded by the European Union and carried out in Italy, Romania, Scotland, and Sweden has established a link between exposure to pesticides and Parkinson's Disease. They found that even low levels of exposure, such as that an amateur gardener might experience, can produce a material difference in likelihood of contracting the condition. Head trauma and injuries associated with contact sports, especially boxing, was also found to be a casual agent.
