Diet and Pesticides – Interesting Reading from Dr. Becky Farley

May 20, 2019
AMAZING!  Dr. Greger does it again.  A wonderful example of how diet can be protective against pesticides that may cause DNA mutations that trigger PD and other diseases.  The flavonoid phytonutrients in berries appear to interfering with the build up and clumping of the alpha-synuclein protein that leads to cell death.  If you read or watch more check out the links at the bottom.  He has an entire chapter devoted to PD in his book “How not to die”.  Now go eat your berries (and exercise)!
