Re: NEW COFFEE STUDY

[DIANE/GREG NICOLAOU <DGNIC@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have heard of the coffee study before and and I don't buy it, at least in
my case, I have had no less than 5 cups of coffee a day for the past 20
years and i was diagnoised with pd this yr at the age of 49.  I still drink
lots of coffee but because i like it, I dont expect it wil help or slow down
the PD.  They also say cigarrette smokers will  not get PD, (never smoked a
cigarrette in my life).   Maybe.........
