Dear Listfriends, Although it's way too early to draw any conclusions, the following animal study is still interesting -- Green Tea Extract Polyphenol May Have A Protective Effect On Parkinson's Disease DENVER, CO (American Academy of Neurology) -- Polyphenol, a potent antioxidant found in green tea, has already been shown to have protective effects on several disease processes, including some cancers and forms of heart disease. Researchers have now shown that green tea polyphenols may also have a protective effect on Parkinson's disease, according to a study presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology. http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/325/8015/348708.html -- Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD "Ask the Parkinson Dietitian" http://www.parkinson.org/ Author: "Eat well, stay well with Parkinson's disease" "Guidelines for Medical Nutrition Therapy for Parkinson's disease" http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
