Since nutrition seriously affects on human health, it may be a potential risk factor for Parkinson's disease. Studying the likelihood of the impact of a number of products, including coffee, milk and alcohol, on the likelihood of developing this neurodegenerative disease, scientists concluded that dairy products are the most harmful in this regard.

In a broad review, the authors reviewed 52 studies , conducted in the period from 2000 to the present. Clinical and observational trials and follow-up studies have focused on determining how diet may affect the development of Parkinson's disease. Coffee, alcohol, dairy products, the Mediterranean diet, and various polyphenols and vitamins included in the foods were examined.

The results showed that while polyphenols, polyunsaturated fatty acids, coffee and the Mediterranean diet help reduce the likelihood of developing or progressing Parkinson's disease, milk and products derived from it, on the contrary, increase the risk.

The fact is that milk contains a large amount of saturated fat. Unlike unsaturated fats, they are generally harmful to humans when consumed excessively.

Parkinson's disease is a slowly developing disease of the central nervous system. The basis of the disease is damage to the nerve cells of the brain stem. The disease manifests itself in the form of slowness of movements, change in gait, trembling of the body at rest, leaning of the body, impaired reflexes. The average age of onset of the disease is 57 years.
