Maybe stick to bottled water from now on. Year old study but news to me.

Quote :
"A recent study in Journal of the American Medical Association has caused a stir, showing that living near golf courses is associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The study demonstrated that those living within a mile of a golf course had a 2.25 times increased risk of developing Parkinson’s as compared to those living more than six miles away, and those living within the water service of a golf course had about a two times increased risk of developing Parkinson’s compared to those living in areas without a golf course. In the study, 90% of people who lived within three miles of a golf course also shared the same water service as the golf course, suggesting that this study could not easily separate out proximity and water supply as factors associated with increased risk of PD."

Never would have guessed spraying copious amounts of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers on the soil could be harmful to human health.
