Hate to be the hater but the Alzheimers risk reduction has been discredited: http://www.badscience.net/2010/03/when-is-it-okay-to-ignore-people-you-dont-trust/
Doesn't say anything about Parkinson's of course, except as an illustration of the marvellous tendency we all have to remember studies that say it's good for us to do bad things. A study in the 80s showed that a glass or two of red wine for over-50s reduces the risk of heart disease? Fuck it, that means the medics are basically demanding I drink a couple of bottles a night as a 30 year-old just to be on the safe side.
On Smoking Is Awesome
