"Parkinson’s disease is the fastest growing brain condition in the world. A new paper co-authored by Dr. Ray Dorsey at the University of Rochester Medical Center shows that a common chemical may be fueling the rise of the disease. #Trichloroethylene (#TCE) is used to #DryClean clothes, to #decaffeinate coffee, and to #degrease metal. It was one of the main contaminant at the Marine Corps base #CampLejeune and has been found in up to one-third of the #groundwater in the U.S. According to the research, TCE is linked with a 500 percent increased risk of Parkinson’s disease."
