A member asked:
Can years of drinking 2 liters of diet coke a day lead to parkinson's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Although I have a very negative view of diet soft drinks, there is no cause/effect here for parkinson's, which is associated with only a few toxins, including manganese and carbon monoxide poisoning, but maybe aspartame will be revealed as a future culprit.

Concerned about Parkinsons. My hands have been jittery when I try to use a fork (like very, very fine jittering). And my hands/arms shake when I try to open a pickle jar. No jitters at rest. I dont drink caffeine. Could this be early Parkinsons?
