Smeynes team previously published their findings that exercise confers
protection on mice that otherwise would have developed PD following
treatment with MPTP; and that the rise in the level of GDNF appeared to be
key to that protection. The article appeared in the special October 2004
issue of Molecular Brain Research called Molecular Aspects of Parkinsons
Disease.

So, don't be a *lazy* cokehead and you'll be ok ;)

They also don't mention any potential sources for the one toxin (MPTP)
that causes the risk they've found.
