It’s October already and the garden is looking beautiful with lots of flowers and blossoms everywhere. The vegie patch is also looking healthy, especially the spinach and silverbeet and I am just loving the warmer days in the garden. I have just planted some zucchini, lebanese cucumbers and lettuce so lets hope they thrive. Enjoy reading this month and make sure you try my Tofu Green Curry Recipe as it's delicious and very easy to make. Cheers Miranda

Study links Parkinson's disease to long-term pesticide exposure.
Scientists have found further evidence of a link between Parkinson's disease and long-term exposure to pesticides.
A study of more than 300 people with the neurological disease — which can affect movements such as walking, talking and writing — found that sufferers were more than twice as likely to report heavy exposure to pesticides over their lifetime as family members without the disease. The new research, led by American scientists, looked at the lifetime pesticide exposure of 319 Parkinson's patients and more than 200 of their relatives without the disease. The results, published a few months ago in the journal BMC Neurology, showed that people with Parkinson's were 1.6 times as likely to report an exposure to pesticides in their lifetimes compared with the controls. In addition, people with the Parkinson's were 2.4 times as likely as people without the disease to report heavy exposure to pesticides, classed as more than 215 days over a lifetime. Of the 3,000 carers surveyed, most of whom were family members, less than 2% had had similar exposure," said Breen. "This demonstates that pesticides may be contributing to nerve cell death in some people with Parkinson's, but is unlikely to be the only cause." Symptoms of the disease first tend to appear when a patient is older than 50, and can include tremors and muscle rigidity. The Parkinson's Disease Society estimates that around 10,000 new diagnoses of the disease are made ever year in the UK. To read the full article click here: Chemical Ingredient HighlightLANOLIN
