Soccertese, thanks for raising this topic.
Based on epidemiological evidence Gao et al. [1] put the relative risk of developing PD, for the quintile most strongly on a prudent (Mediterranean) diet as 0.78. I think it may be interesting to investigate whether there are any linkages between the Mediterranian diet and alpha-synuclein. Caruana and Vassallo write [2] "Cumulative evidence now suggests that the abnormal aggregation of the neuronal protein alpha-synuclein is critically involved in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies, of which Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most prevalent." "several polyphenols counteract the cytotoxic properties of alpha-synuclein aggregates directly in a cellular context" "Polyphenolic compounds are naturally-present constituents of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, food products and beverages derived from plants such as olive oil, tea, and red wine."
