dear all i am a new member and find alot of info about PD.my husband of 50 years ts the one who has PD for about 3 years.after learning what some of you have gone through he is in great shape-some times he gets confused and it upsets him but all told he is okay, i had tried to reseach on my own and among things that i have heard that PD shouldn't take anti acid that contains aluminum or to drink soft drinks from aluminum cans. i don't know find any reference to this in your info.after learning how many young people have PD iam wondering if there could be a connection as teens seem to consume alot of soft drinks.so far it seems to me it is the more affluent countries that are showing young PD s. what about the poorer countries who don't have access to soft drinks? i have always tried to ask questions if ican't find out on my own and at 73 i hope i am not being presumptious in posing this question to you. connie tate
