Exposure to the industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) and other volatile organic compounds in drinking water raised the risk of Parkinson’s disease decades later, an analysis of 158,000 military veterans showed.

Former Camp Lejeune residents also had a higher prevalence of prodromal features like tremor, suggesting that for some veterans, Parkinson’s might not yet be diagnosed.

Trichloroethylene has been used since the 1920s to de-grease metal, decaffeinate coffee, and dry clean clothes. It has been linked with cancer, miscarriages, neural tube defects, congenital heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and Parkinson’s disease in earlier research.

Why post a blog instead of the study?

And the study the blog references is a very specific study done at a single military base...

Your headline comes off like a "fluoride with kill you" conspiracy post.

Did you write it like that intentionally? Or it's just a bad title and an accident?
- Not my headline and I did not write the article
  
  Here is the actual report ,crikey you have to pay for it !!.. Well what a bummer ,there is the reason for posting the news article instead of the actual report..Happy Now ?

  Neurologist Samuel Goldman, MD, MPH, had long felt obligated to dive into the question of whether the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that had contaminated the drinking water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune up to the mid-1980s were associated with an increased risk of Parkinson disease.

  Not sure why you sound upset about it.
  
  And it's your sub bro, it's not like anyone is going to get mad you post a headline with context instead of verbatim what the blog used.
  
  I just don't know why you didn't start with that link. But I don't think I'm going to get an answer either.
  
  So have a good one I guess.
