Many years ago - 20-30 when the first research was being done on Parkinson's disease there was a public health study - possibly published in the Canadian Journal of Public Health. They mapped Montreal into regions of high, medium and low sulfur exposure. There WAS A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER correlation with incidence of Parkinson's Disease and where the person lived most of their life. I just remembered this and will try tracking down the original article - unless someone already has!
