I recently saw a posting about Fava Beans. It indicated that fava beans contain dopamine and may be beneficial. I am sure that this has been a subject of many postings but am unsure of how to pull together postings or information on this subject. I am interested in learning about the subject, including how often and in what manner the fava beans are consumed. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am a caregiver for a 63 year old friend (diagnosed one year ago--with possible PSP). The Parkinsons Information Exchange List is a blessing. It gives hope and enables victims and caregivers to unite and fight back. I personally telephoned many congressman recently on the Udall bill and am planning even more activisim. Thank you all.
