Could eating peppers prevent Parkinson's? Dietary nicotine may hold protective key


New research reveals that Solanaceae -- a flowering plant family with some species producing foods that are edible sources of nicotine -- may provide a protective effect against Parkinson's disease. The study suggests that eating foods that contain even a small amount of nicotine, such as peppers and tomatoes, may reduce risk of developing Parkinson's.

So... does it count when i drip into my phoenix but forget to wait a few minutes for the juice to run down and get some in my mouth? because if so, I'm so covered.

Parkinson's isn't the only one. I was nine years old when I figured out that if I stole one of my dads cigarettes I could make the throat ticks go away. (Tourette's syndrome)
The hate for tobacco is so strong that science still hasn't bothered to figure out WHY while the patch doesn't seem to be effective for controlling Tourette's, inhaled nicotine does.

Layman's perspective:
The patch will cause nicotine to be absorbed into your bloodstream affecting the path of absorption on the way.
So... Upper epidermis through to the bloodstream will affect the nerve endings on the way.
Inhaled nicotine would ALSO affect the path of absorption, including the nerves around the throat and lungs.
So... If your tics are calmed by inhaling instead of using the patch -
Inhale.
