I've seen compelling evidence that a substantial portion of Parkinson's cases are due to the use of a certain family of synthetic chemicals used in agriculture and as pesticides.
Wikipedia's page on MPTP has some info. Rotenone is one particular culprit, thankfully, being phased out in the U.S.
I wonder if tea can protect from Parkinson's in part by somehow blocking these chemicals. Just an idle thought.
