Do coffee and cigarettes protect against Parkinson's?

Some substance in tobacco might protect the brain against this devastating neurological disorder and sheds new light on coffee's effects on the disease.

Another irony of timing...cause part of a Larry King rebroacast with New age physicians.....I always thought coffe=bad....mese wit yr blood sugar, leeches the calcium out of yr bones.....but his guy said it ain't no biggie!

Except we have a friend who is coffee addict.....he has some proceedure, we went with him and he got terrible headache cause he went into withdrawl immediately.....impacts blood veselsin the brain. but I can't remebah who I am in aM without a mug.....and U gotta grind your own beans.

I think it is more deleterious to health/immune system to be an angry person....than it is to do little coffee. Plus, in South America....we know from Pre-Columbian statues.....also cause of high, energy-depleting elevation....people went around with bettle nuts in their cheeks....that is kinda like Cocaine. Active ingredient get thru the mucoa.

Wut? No, really.

And who cares.....cause it doesn't fend off Parkinsons' LAW, Ok? and that....is a whole otha thing.
