There was a study a couple of months ago that came out.

It was an observational study.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark

It was sort of, you know, imperfect.

But what they found was that people who live very close to golf courses might have a doubling of risk of Parkinson's disease with the thinking that on these courses, these golf courses, they spray crazy chemicals to make sure that the courses stay nice, like way more than like in our food supply.

So for people who still drink from wells, and if those people live close to golf courses, I think it was like less than a mile from golf courses, there was potentially a doubling of risk for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

But I think just being cognizant of your environment, like the the air pollution side of things, you want to make sure that you're drinking clean water, crucially important stuff.

And like, again, reverse osmosis, I think, can be a really inexpensive.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark

You can even get countertop reverse osmosis purifiers at this point.

I have no affiliation with people who are who are producing those.

If that's not within reach for you, then just even like a charcoal filter is better than nothing.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark

I'm not extremely anti.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
Prevent Alzheimer’s & Dementia Before It Starts | Max Lugavere

No, no, no.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
Prevent Alzheimer’s & Dementia Before It Starts | Max Lugavere

No, I actually have a nuanced take on nicotine.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark

I'm not extremely anti.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
