hi - I've been strict veggie since I was 18 - diagnosed with PD at 36... seen quite a few mentions about increased dairy intake and risk of PD - cheese and milk have been a big part of my diet (being vegan would have avoided this though...) anti-vegetarians in my family have also pointed out that I may have consumed higher than average levels of pesticides as a result of eating so much vegetation! But then none of my veggie peers have PD...
Thoroughly agree about the environmental impact etc.
I have tried eating meat since diagnosis - not noticed any change in my symptoms.
Maybe organic vegan is the way to go?
Cheers,
Toob.
