Parkinson’s Disease Risk May Be Reduced If Diet Includes More Fish

Allergies to fish are not common, but when they do occur they are most often caused by the fish protein β-parvalbumin, which is found in many different fish species. New research by a team at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden now suggests that this same abundant protein may have a protective effect against Parkinson’s disease (PD). In vitro studies led by Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede, Ph.D., professor and head of the chemical biology division at Chalmers, showed that β-pa
