The research suggests there are more benefits to consuming foods high in calcium, such as milk and cheese, than there are risks. Bone health is particularly important in Parkinson’s, and we

know calcium plays a major role in maintaining our bones. When it comes to risk of developing Parkinson’s, there is still more work to be done to find out why certain foods are linked to a

very slight increase in risk of the condition. When it comes to calcium in the brain this is probably not directly related to how much, or little, dietry calcium someone is consuming.

Targeting calcium inside brain cells could help to slow the progress of Parkinson’s, but it will require specific drug molecules. It won’t be possible just to reduce or remove dietary
