A short post today as I don't want to steal the ADA's thunder. Today the ADA announced a link between oral bacteria and Parkinson's disease. This is huge news and is further proof of the oral systemic connection that everyone needs to be aware of.
Strep mutans in the gut appears to be a trigger. However, without going into all the details, you can get better info in the links below.
The ADA News site has a brief summary as well as a link to the study.
If you'd like to go directly to the study in Nature Communications click this link.
