Hi all, I have heard of the coffee study before and and I don't buy it, at least in my case, I have had no less than 5 cups of coffee a day for the past 20 years and i was diagnoised with pd this yr at the age of 49. I still drink lots of coffee but because i like it, I dont expect it wil help or slow down the PD. They also say cigarrette smokers will not get PD, (never smoked a cigarrette in my life). Maybe.........
