Does all of this begin in the liver, as I read many years ago (I forget where)? But then, the liver can't do it's job if it doesn't have the nutrients it needs, such as good fat.

When one looks at our history, with the burgeoning PD population, did the PD epidemic really begin when people starting shunning fat as "bad", and what fats they did eat were no longer readily available like they had been, but were now corn oil, and worse, trans fats?

Maybe all of this time our brains have been starving for healthy fats, the ones we used to copiously eat not that long ago. As I've posted before, I remember as a youngster eating at my grandparents tables, both sides, and the table was loaded with buttered vegetables (fresh from the backyard garden, everyone had one), rolls slathered with butter, fried chicken, and eggs from the backyard chickens, were used in everything from breakfast to dinner. I have many aunts and uncles and not one of them has PD, now in their 70 and 80s, also no grandparent had PD. Makes one wonder.

The more I learn, the less fearful I am of cholesterol and fat. That tub of ice cream in the freezer isn't really my enemy, after all
