I generally take all these studies with a grain of salt because they largely apply to people who may end up with later onset PD as a result of the aging process. None of these studies take into account variables like you are 28 years old and already have PD! Seriously, on the Young Onset sites, I "meet" chain smokers, caffeine addicts, etc. What these studies don't tell you is that if your brain is already genetically compromised then very likely none of this applies to you.

Let's see...

I have consumed coffee in very large quantities.
I have never taken up smoking, but as a baby, ate a pack of my dad's unfiltered Camel's- clearly no benefit.
As a college student, I voraciously consumed large quantities of Turmeric in the form of Indian curries.

Here we all are, in other words! Clearly the issue is more complex than the simplistic message these reports convey.

On the other hand, I have been giving some thought to adding in Ibuprofen as a treatment. One a day can't hurt and it's a he** of a lot more affordable than Coq10>
