I wasn't surprised at all by an article on thedailygreen.com. An excerpt:
In another cautionary tale about the potential danger of toxic pesticides, scientists have published a new study on further evidence of a possible link between Parkinson's disease and long-term chemical exposure. As the UK's Guardian reports, a study of more than 300 people with the neurological disease found that sufferers were more than twice as likely to report heavy exposure to pesticides over their lifetime as family members without the disease.
It reminds me of a similar study that I read about recently regarding a link between pesticides and Alzheimer's disease.
None of this should come as a surprise to any health conscious person. Pesticides and other chemicals are bad for you, end of story, and the best way to deal with this issue is to avoid them any way that you can.
A good place to start is right inside your own home. It's important to think about what sort of chemicals you are willingly introducing into your living space. Many cleaning products can be replaced by safe alternatives. Good ol' vinegar and water will clean your windows as well as any normal window cleaner, and it won't pollute your house in the process.
