New research published in JAMA Neurology suggests they might finally be one step closer to solving the mystery. As reported by IFLScience, researchers at the University of Oxford studied more than 500,000 adults in China and found that carbon monoxide may provide some kind of protective barrier against Park…
A Strange Clue to Parkinson’s Risk

Yet for decades, researchers have noticed a puzzling pattern: people who smoke have often appeared less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease. This does not mean smoking is healthy or should be used to prevent Parkinson’s. Cigarettes greatly increase the risk of cancer, […]
Parkinson's disease is significantly less common among smokers than non-smokers – an association observed by researchers for longer and considered one of the paradoxes of this disease. Now, a new study is trying to explain where this unexpected effect might come from. Researchers have identified a possible connection with carbon monoxide ... The post-Smokers have a much lower risk of Parkinson's. Researchers believe they have found the explanati…
