May be i'm in denial, however not sure about the validity of this one... the study does not seem to be specific towards parkinson disease but is simply a claim/linkage/conclusion draw...there must be a lot of of other disease associated with high iron levels as well. Would like to know more details before acknowledging the claim...... Was this research jointly funded by the Italian,Argentinean and Brazilian wine producers associations :-) ........just kidding!
