Pesticides linked to Parkinson's risk
STUDY:
Pesticides Linked to Parkinson's Risk in People with Specific Gene. Several
studies have linked pesticides with the development of Parkinson's disease, and
now this newest 2014 study has found a specific gene that may explain why some
people are particularly susceptible to developing Parkinson's after exposure to
certain pesticides. One important part of the study was that the researchers
had maps of pesticide use from the past 40 years available because of
California laws requiring that pesticide use be reported. It would be difficult
or impossible to repeat the study in another state, says Dr. Beate Ritz, a
professor of epidemiology at University of California, Los Angeles and
co-director of the school’s Center for Gene-Environment Studies in Parkinson's
Disease.
No toxic
pesticides-use monitoring in other states. Yet another way the agrichemical
industry and Big Ag gets away with doing damage to human & animal health
and the environment. No traceability. No accountability. No liability. It’s
just the way these unethical corporations like it, and is one of the reasons
they’re fighting tooth and nail against mandatory state and federal-level GMO
labeling initiatives as well.
