Do you mind me asking what diet your grandfather was following?
My father died last year and he had a very bad case of Parkinson's. The diet does fit with the explanation to Parkinson's, although there is also sleep apnea that might have been an even bigger contributor to his Parkinson's development.
- francisofascii 6y agoNot OP, but my grandfather who died from Parkinson's had two risk factors. Growing up on a farm with pesticides and serving in WW2. Also didn't drink coffee. So you wonder how theses factor are related to diet. Perhaps all associated with "constipation" diets. i.e low in fiber.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoAnec-data but my grandpa had Parkinson's as well. WW2 vet, ended up getting a Ph.D in Chemistry and working with fuel additives, plus other interesting stuff. Meticulously planned eating habits, serious coffee drinker.
- remarkEon 6y agoInteresting, my grandfather also grew up on a farm and served in Korea. Not that sure about his diet, but being from the Midwest I imagine it included lots of carbs and casseroles, probably not enough protein from meats, and certainly not enough fiber.
