Manganese
and Parkinson's Disease
University of Washington researchers have found that the
risk of someone getting Parkinsons disease after high
consumption of both iron and manganese together is greater
than expected. Researchers say further studies may shed
light on the apparent connection, and they say people should
not change their diet on the basis of this study alone.
